I am a passionate young kiwi naturalist, climate activist and adventurer. I am a Deakin University PhD candidate, a University of Canterbury Honours Alumni and a Provost Scholarship Recipient to the University of California Davis where I studied Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology. My PhD is investigating seaweed as a natural climate solution and I am on the scientific advisory board to the kelp forest foundation. 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 am currently the founder of Carbonz, host of the Both Sides now political podcast and co-chair of Future Farmers New Zealand. I live on Lake Hawea Station; my family farm which is pioneering on farm environmentalism and is the first certified carbon-zero farm in Australasia. I am deeply passionate about the future potential for a regenerative food and fibre sector, but above all live for adventures in the most remote corners of the South Pacific.
