Some of the standouts names along the way include the United States Forest Service, the United States Department of Agriculture, Lexus, RedBull, Woolworths, Kathmandu, NZ Rugby, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank, Swiss Re, Saatchi and Saatchi, and Baxter, to name a few. I have a particular passion for working with youth, and have engaged with more than 100 schools across NZ, Australia, Japan, Myanmar & Portugal in this time. Show less
