Biography
I lead and support a number of initiatives that provide practical examples of how to accelerate innovation with ideas that value and enable diversity.

These outcomes include building better knowledge systems to tackle contemporary landscape management issues, improving economic participation for Indigenous people, and enhancing positive health and well-being.
