I am active in environmental issues relating to my neighbourhood, Marrickville, in the inner-west of Sydney, and sit on the Council's Cooks River Committee.
I have overseen a number of grant funded projects in the area, including the construction of a bio-filtration swale with funding from the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority, and a garden of Sydney rainforest species at Ferncourt Public School, funding by Transgrid, Australia Post and Landcare.
I am currently part way through a Masters of Environmental Management at the University of New South Wales, and hold a TAFE Certificate in Natural Area Restoration.
In 2008 I was awarded Marrickville Citizen of the Year for this work. For more information and pictures visit:
