ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST AND STRATEGIC ADVISOR
With over 30 years of international experience, I help governments, development banks, and environmental partnerships navigate complex challenges through clear science communication and strategic guidance.
As Independent Chair of the Wet Tropics Waterways Partnership and member of the Australian Water Partnership Technical Advisory Panel, I work at the intersection of science, policy, and practice—translating environmental complexity into actionable decisions.
Through Darwinian Consulting and a global network of specialists, I deliver environmental assessments, monitoring frameworks, and strategic advice across the Pacific, Asia, and Australia.
