I have an MSC in Environmental Management and have 25 years work experience as a science educator, scientist and manager in the research, energy and water sectors.  I have successfully managed environmental and social risks on multidiciplinary projects through the establishment of stategies and plans, systems and stakeholder relationships.  I have been a mentor to female scientists and this has led to attainment of post graduate degrees as well as professional registrations.

My passion is to contribute to improvement of lives and livelihoods  on a sustainable basis and also contribute towards active citizenry.
