I aim to apply my interdisciplinary background - spanning business, tech, and the humanities - to help solve complex environmental problems. I’m particularly interested in how governments develop and implement environmental policy amid competing values, and how businesses manage non-financial risk or fund environmental ventures in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

I began my career in corporate insolvency and restructuring after studying accounting and finance. I interned for PwC, KPMG, and EY before joining Taylor Woodings (later acquired by FTI Consulting). I was also heavily involved with the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation. Despite this early success, and my continued fascination with all things finance, it didn't quite fit.

I used this as an opportunity to see the world and explore while I had the chance. I went travelling to some faraway places such as India, Pakistan, and China. I also completed several creative projects in photography and literature. I wrote two novels, drafted a book of literary criticism, produced a short film, and self-published a photography book titled Salt Of The Earth. Later, I moved to Sydney to study philosophy and English at the University of Sydney.

After graduating, I worked with Avior Consulting in both commercial and design roles. I then joined a corporate communications start-up, Plastic Words, working on design and development projects whilst collaborating on client communications and product strategy. This led to co-founding Atomic Vision, a design and development practice focused on building a suite of pre-configured, modular sites tailored to small businesses competing in a crowded marketplace.

Over time, I realised that I’d developed a broad and unique perspective. More importantly, I came to understand that the most rewarding work is driven by a central mission. Rather than fully committing to software development or accounting and finance, I chose to return to study - environmental science at the ANU - to learn about how I could contribute to the ecological crisis we are living through. I went in thinking that the problems were mostly technical or economic, they aren't, they're multifaceted and complex. These urgent and important challenges need an interdisciplinary approach, and it’s precisely this intersection of business, tech, and academia that I bring to the table.
