I am currently on secondment to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water as a Senior Policy Officer working on the zoning, assessment, consultation and implementation of Australia's first offshore renewable energy areas.My substantive role is as a Marine Geoscientist in which I have worked on and led seabed mapping surveys, the agile transformation and project management of a section, developed and project managed research projects and the delivery of digital assets from concept through to public launch.In addition, my time at Geoscience Australia presented an opportunity to help establish a national seabed mapping program that spans the government, academic and private sectors with a focus on delivering open data for the benefit of Australia's marine estate. My goal is to affect positive environmental change through sustainable projects, policy, and research.
