Socio-legal and environmental researcher, consultant & writer

Profile Summary

I have a Master of Laws (with Distinction) with specialization in international environmental law. My research focused on the nature - culture conflict from a legal anthropological lens. Research for my dissertation considered the question of why biodiversity is declining despite the international treaties and actions.  I analyzed how the intrinsic value of biodiversity is missing from most environmental evaluations and accounting. Using the ancient Behron law as an example of a more restorative and proactive framework of justice, I highlighted ways we could learn from traditional Celtic wisdom.

From previous research for modules on international human rights, environmental and public law, I considered justification for more standing for nature from a rights perspective and from a jurisdictional, place-based approach with an emphasis on ecological boundaries and community governance.

I have over two decades of career experience in communications, technology, agriculture, and conservation within corporate and non-profit sectors.  It provides a well-rounded set of skills, a broad scope of understanding and openness to look at different perspectives in the exploration for solutions.
