I am an industry leader in infrastructure and renewables, having led the Tasmanian office of Jacobs from 2020-2024 as well as chairing the Tasmanian Committee of Consult Australia and representing our industry on the Tasmanian Government's Building and Construction Roundtable. I have a 30+ year portfolio career as a consultant archaeologist, political advisor, interim government executive in health, housing and urban regeneration, and stakeholder engagement and communication in infrastructure and renewable energy. I love to tackle stakeholder engagement in high public outrage environments to achieve social license, and have a suite of conflict-preventative tools in my toolkit. I'm also doing a PhD to develop a framework for Peace & Conflict Impact Assessment on controversial projects in regions of the world that are prone to conflict. I have a BA Hons in Archaeology, and an MSc in Middle East Politics.
