BIO
I hold a PhD in Agricultural Science from Lincoln University and bring over three decades of international experience as a practicing architect, with projects spanning Europe, Asia, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. As well as conventional commercial sectors, my professional work has included community development initiatives in Myanmar and a humanitarian role as Construction Manager for Médecins Sans Frontières in Afghanistan. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Lincoln University’s Centre of Excellence for Designing Future Productive Landscapes, where my research integrates Western science and mātauranga Māori to support climate adaptation, with a growing emphasis on Nature-based Solutions.
