I joined Environment Canterbury in 1999 after emigrating from South Africa with my family. I held a number of positions during this time, and was the Director Strategy and Planning from 2008 until 2017.

I have a BA in Geography and English, a Masters in Town and Regional Planning and a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration.
