My background includes growth area planning, open space and recreation, infrastructure and precinct, subdivision, and development implementation, working with a wide range of public and private sector clients and stakeholders. I am passionate about creating well-connected open spaces, recreation opportunities, and integrated urban development. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients, communities, and project teams to develop practical and achievable solutions, while drawing on leading industry practice and innovative thinking to challenge conventional approaches and unlock better outcomes for people, places, and the environment.
