CURRENT MISSION

To explore and appreciate our Earth and all its peoples in a sustainable way and convince others to do so.

ABOUT ME

Postgrad law student (focus on international environmental law) at the Australian National University where I am also President of PARSA- the Postgraduate and Research Student Association. PADI Divemaster (worked in the Caribbean). I love seeking out new adventures...bushwalking, cross country-skiing, climbing, competing in water polo and ocean swimming, attempting to learn Spanish. I research and write about international climate change law and policy and sustainable development. I have attended several international climate change negotiations, and am looking forward to attending Rio+20 in Brazil in June 2012 as Director of the ANU delegation.

PHILOSOPHY

Find a way to navigate through life that contributes positively to something bigger than yourself and your own personal gain. In doing so you will never be unhappy or unsatisfied.
