About Me

I am an independent writer and researcher, and a climate policy expert. I translate climate science, social science, and cultural philosophy into narrative.

I am passionate about creating positive social and environmental transformation – connecting science, justice, and lived experience through writing.

I can offer consulting services across climate science communications, sustainability, climate action, community development, and research. I am always open to discussion, consulting, education, collaboration, or publication opportunities. Please get in touch with me here.

My expertise is on climate change, sustainability, and wellbeing issues. I specialise in community-led, co-created approaches for social and environmental wellbeing. In particular, I focus on a Latin American concept called Buen Vivir (the Good Life).

I work with the Commonwealth government on international climate policy. Recently, I joined the University of Tasmania’s Climate Futures as a Research Associate (Climate Science Communications). I hold a PhD in Law and Business from Swinburne University’s Centre for Social Impact, a Master’s in International Law and International Relations from the University of New South Wales.

*All views expressed here and in my writing are my own unless affiliated.

From my doctoral research I developed a framework for Buen Vivir and its related community principles laid out in my book. The framework for Buen Vivir can be used as a co-constructive community tool for social and environmental wellbeing. If you are interested in how this could be implemented in your community or local government, please contact me.
