More information coming soon!

I am a young kiwi scientist, climate activist and adventurer.

I am a Blue Carbon Lab PhD candidate researching seaweed as a climate change solution. I am currently the founder of Climate Action Company and host of the Both Sides Now political podcast.

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 co-chair of Future Farmers New Zealand and board member for Otago Department of Conservation, WSV2 Biochar and the Kelp Forest Foundation scientific board.

I live on Lake Hawea Station; my family farm which is pioneering on farm climate action and regenerative agriculture and is the first certified Bcorp sheep farm in the world. I am deeply passionate about the ocean as a climate change solution, but above all live for adventures in the most remote corners of the South Pacific.
