My career to date covers an array of roles within the built environment sector. I have recently spent time within a Planning role in Wānaka, New Zealand, working within the dynamic rural environment after having spent my early career in Auckland, Tāmaki Makaurau. Here, I started as a Transport Planner with Harrison Grierson and transitioned to an Urban Planner role within the company. Both positions involved feasibility and resource consenting for private and public sector clients throughout New Zealand as well as reviewing and processing resource consent applications on behalf of local Councils.From my time as a consultant, and practical on-site experience from construction surveying between study, I have developed a versatile understanding of the wider urban development industry.I am passionate about the urban and environmental challenges faced by our growing cities and using my planning skills to contribute to adapting cities toward greater resilience. My aspiration is to be involved in improving the form and function of our cities, to better the lives of those who live and work within them. In particular, I am enthusiastic about prioritizing sustainable travel modes and improving the infrastructural provision, accessibility and safety of these travel modes.
