About Me
Who
I am an Ocean Inclusion & Governance Specialist working at the intersection of surfing, conservation and marine systems. My lived experience, learning and most recently, Churchill Fellowship allows me to bring internationally informed insight into how access, representation and power shape ocean access, advocacy & conservation. I have reached this career through family, passion and a care for the future and I can help you shape your working and plans with integrity and equity at its' core.
How
My perspective has been shaped through leadership within environmental advocacy and founding community surf initiatives. I also have conducted international research examining surf and marine governance systems across different cultural contexts. I have sought the answers to questions many have avoided or don't want to ask.
Why
Because I combine lived experience, systems thinking and governance, ocean literacy to help organisations move beyond symbolic inclusion and build structures that are credible, resilient and fit for the future.
Most importantly, I aim to create WITH you, not FOR you. Listening is fundamental to my work, enabling me to identify gaps and guide how to close them with integrity and authenticity.
