Kia ora, I am a passionate young kiwi naturalist, climate activist and adventurer. I am a Blue Carbon Lab 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 climate change 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 Climate Action Company, host of the Both Sides Now political podcast, co-chair of Future Farmers New Zealand and board member for Otago Department of Conservation. I live on Lake Hawea Station; my family farm which is pioneering on farm environmentalism and is the first certified Bcorp sheep farm in the world. I am deeply passionate about the potential for a regenerative food and fibre sector, but above all live for adventures in the most remote corners of the South Pacific.
