I bring over 15 years of experience supporting onshore renewable energy projects across New Zealand and the UK, including wind, solar, hydro and community energy schemes. My background spans environmental planning, consenting, stakeholder engagement and programme delivery, with a strong focus on practical, risk‑aware development pathways.
