The Full Story
I’m an urban forest engagement practitioner based in Western Australia, working at the intersection of community, nature, and place. Over the past decade, I’ve contributed to a wide range of urban greening initiatives through roles in local government, not-for-profits, and grassroots organisations.
My journey began in community advocacy, where I became involved in local groups Vic Park Trees, Vic Park Urban Foresters, and the the Vic Park Collective. I spent six years on the Town of Victoria Park’s Urban Forest Working Group and co-led the development of the Town’s Community-Led Urban Forest Strategy—the first of its kind in Australia.
​​
Since then, I’ve worked across local government to design and deliver street tree planting programs, lead events that connect people to place, and co-create engagement strategies that empower communities to shape their urban environments. I’ve also collaborated with organisations WA Loves Nature, TREENET, and Millennium Kids.
​​
I hold a Master’s in Urban Forestry Leadership from the University of British Columbia and continue to learn from best-practice practitioners across Australia and internationally. My current focus includes community-led placemaking, disaster recovery, and long-term urban forest care. Through She Plants Cities, I’m working to grow cities where people and trees thrive together—through inclusive engagement, shared ownership, and grounded, practical action.
