Kia ora, I am a passionate kiwi entrepreneur, climate activist and adventurer. I am a University of Canterbury Honours Alumni, a Provost Scholarship Recipient to the University of California Davis where I studied Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology and a Blue Carbon Lab PhD graduate. I am currently the Founder of Climate Action Company and Co-founder of Ocean Balance. I am on the scientific advisory boards to WSV2 Biochar and the Kelp Forest Foundation. I frequently work alongside the Blue Carbon Lab and recently completed my PhD investigating seaweed as a climate change solution. Historically I have had roles as the co-founder of not-for-profit charity Let Them Fish, founder of The Seaweed Solution, Bomb Bucha CEO and contributor to the genesis of Live Ocean. I have hosted the Both Sides Now political podcast, and was founder and co-chair of Future Farmers New Zealand from 2021-2025. I live on Lake Hawea Station; my family farm which is pioneering on farm environmentalism and is the first certified Bcorp sheep farm in the world. I am deeply passionate about the potential for a regenerative food and fibre sector, but above all live for adventures in the most remote corners of the South Pacific.
