education & training
knowledge is power
For me, knowledge has always been more than just facts or figures, it's a source of true empowerment. It's shaped my personal growth, sharpened my instincts, and opened doors I might never have even noticed. Whether it's mastering a new skill, gaining insight into a different perspective, or simply understanding more about the world, knowledge has given me the tools to adapt, overcome challenges, and keep evolving. It's what drives me to approach life and work with curiosity and purpose. I believe learning isn't just something we do, it's who we are. By staying open to knowledge, we're not just improving ourselves but building a foundation to create a real, meaningful impact on the world around us.
WHAT I'VE ACHIEVED
I've spent years building a toolkit that's both practical and purpose-driven, whether I'm designing digital platforms, shaping editorial strategy, or managing complex projects with clarity & care. My skills span web development, content architecture, usability, and governance, all grounded in a commitment to ethical design and community impact. These are some of the tools I use, the systems I trust, and the approach I bring to creating work that’s not just functional but deeply aligned with values.
From project management platforms to content systems and design software, I've built a toolkit that's evolved with me over decades of hands-on work. I don't chase trends, I choose apps that serve real needs, support collaboration, and respect user agency. This is a snapshot of what I use, why I use it, and how each tool fits into the way I work.
Education, for me, has never been about ticking boxes, it's been about building depth, adaptability, and purpose. From wilderness reserves & national park management to media design, agricultural science, and digital development, I've followed a learning path that's as diverse as the work I do. This page maps out the formal qualifications and practical courses that have shaped my thinking, sharpened my skills, and grounded my approach to stewardship, governance, and creative strategy.
Not everything I do fits neatly into a category, and that's exactly how I like it. Over the years, I've taken on roles and built projects that reflect curiosity, capability, and a willingness to step outside the usual lanes. From judging national web awards to creating platforms like Absolutely Australia, these ventures have sharpened my skills, expanded my networks, and given me space to experiment with ideas that matter.
My work history is a mix of entrepreneurship, digital production, and values-led collaboration. I've founded businesses, built platforms, and led projects that span continents and sectors, from web development and hosting to editorial strategy and community engagement. Whether I’m managing servers, crafting content, or mentoring clients, I bring clarity, integrity, and a hands-on approach to everything I do.
