My passion is delivering solutions which improve outcomes of people living in poverty. My background is rooted in implementing programmes to tackle poverty. I mainly work in climate adaptation and forestry sectors. With over 27 years experience in this sector I bring enthusiasm and passion to my work. I’ve worked for Government, INGOs, NGOs, local government, private sector and social enterprises. I thrive in multidisciplinary and global teams where individuals bring their own strengths and as a team we bring practical and innovative solutions to complex problems.
