I’m an Australian based writer, researcher and policy analyst, with a background in climate science and law.
The common thread throughout my career is a strong desire to be at the forefront of action on climate change and the growth of clean energy industries.
I have pursued this goal as an employee of federal and state governments, as a ministerial advisor, writer and as a strategic advisor to not-for-profits and businesses seeking to achieve their own transition to decarbonisation.
I’ve drawn upon my strong communication and analytical skills in my work as a writer, policy analyst, expert advisor and commentator. My background combines a strong technical foundation in science and data analysis, with an ability to translate complex information into useful insights.
Places I’ve been published
RenewEconomy, The Driven, The Canberra Times, Huffington Post, The Australian, ABC’s The Drum, The Sydney Morning Herald, Medium, Climate Home News, New Matilda and Substack.
I’ve also regularly appeared as a commentator for outlets that include ABC News, Seven News, ABC Radio National and Al Jazeera.
