About Us
Welcome to our team
I am a co-founding Director of Viridis Environmental with over 20 years' experience in a variety of roles both in Australia and internationally; including consulting, research and government.
I have a proven track record as a Project Manager, with experience in managing multidisciplinary environmental teams, and I have a strong ecological background with particular expertise in the environmental impact assessment for the mining, oil and gas and infrastructure sectors.
I started my career in the environmental industry in the late 90s and first founded an independent consultancy in 2003. Following a postdoctoral fellowship, I returned to the consulting field in 2007, initially working as a Senior Botanist then more broadly into environmental approvals and compliance.
I have successfully assisted numerous companies to secure their environmental approvals to explore, construct and operate.
I have a passion for greenfields mine development, particularly from exploration, through construction and into operations and have seen first-hand how commitments made in approval documentation translate to workable solutions on the ground.
