After working as a thought leader, change manager and innovative digital transformer in education, government and corporate organisations, at the end of 2021 I was appointed to the position of Executive Officer at Western Port Catchment Landcare Network.
In 2019 after returning from the Arctic where I witnessed polar bears eating polar bears, the town of Svalbard slip off the side of a mountain due to lack of permafrost and was immersed in a program demonstrating how to achieve negative emissions, I decided it was time to ‘walk the walk’. Hence, I sold my home in Melbourne and purchased a property in the seaside town of Inverloch. In the first year I setup shelterbelts and planted over 3000 indigenous grasses, bushes and trees in an effort to revegetate my small section of the biolink passage. Having the privilege of joining WPCLN in a leadership role was the final piece in the puzzle. I am blown away by the amazing programs and projects under the banner of WPCLN and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.
