For over 20 years I have worked in Mining and Oil and Gas as an Environmental professional. Early in my career I was a regulator, moving to mining and oil and gas operational Health Safety and Environment roles. More recently I have focused on innovation in the mining and oil and gas space, where I have seeded research including proof of concept projects and start up investments. I have also expanded my skills in commercial and business development, supporting and managing the acquisition and divestment of mining Assets. I have worked in the USA and Australia and supported operations in the UK, South Africa and Chile. I am proud to represent my Maori heritage and women in mining and metals.
