A not-for-profit network of artists, producers, scientists and activists energising the cultural response to climate change.

I designed and delivered a year-long program helping a bunch of amazing Melbourne-based theatre artists and organisations to integrate sustainability into what they do. Participants included Arts House, Victorian Opera, Polyglot, Sans Hotel, and more. Funded by Australia Council for the Arts. The publication below was one outcome of the program, sharing tips and resources for a greener arts sector.

Everyone knows the Bureau of Meteorology - Australia's national weather, climate and water agency. My role was to support scientists from the Bureau and CSIRO to turn the complex science of climate change into a concise, engaging and meaningful report - the 2014 State of the Climate.

I designed and delivered an extra-curricular program introducing sustainability ideas and concepts to a series of diverse groups of students exhibiting high potential of leadership at LaTrobe.

I worked in various sustainability roles for this Victorian-based company, helping them build a reputation for best-practice sustainability performance. This included: producing award-winning sustainability reports; delivering successful staff engagement programs; building partnerships with strategically important external groups; and integrating sustainability across all areas of the business.
