Background

As CCI’s Special Projects Manager I lead the coordination and development of key activities relating to collaborative programs.

Prior to joining CCI, I worked as an Associate Lecturer in Responsible Tourism at UQ Business School and as an independent auditor for Ecotourism Australia. I have been a technical advisor and project manager for various Australian and international projects – advising protected area management agencies, the Government of Vanuatu and as an external collaborator of the United Nations World Tourism Organization.

I am a Director of Wildlife Wonders a social enterprise on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia.

I have always had a key focus on inspiring positive environmental behaviour change through education and communication projects as well as providing capacity building focused on sustainable development.
