UTAS engagement with the Tasmanian climate strategy
Why I do what I do
I lead the University's policy engagement to make sure UTAS staff and students are able to work with governments and influence key decisions that will shape Tasmania's future
Something interesting about me
I'm passionate about Tasmania's future and supporting the development of world-leading and ambitious climate plans is a great agenda to focus on. I have been rock climbing for 35 years (not joking) and still love climbing on the organ pipes on a summer morning.
