About me

I live and work in Kirikiriroa, Aotearoa: Hamilton, New Zealand, on projects of local, national and international significance. I’m motivated to be part of a rapid and just transition to a more equitable society, on a livable planet.

I’m a systems thinker and a practical people-person. I prioritise clear communication. My work focuses on transport but is really about access: enabling all people to have flourishing lives, and to demonstrate inclusion in all that I do.
