BIO

I am a Research Fellow with a background in sustainable natural resource planning, management, and policy. My multi-disciplinary background provides a solid foundation for my interest in exploring and addressing the complex practical challenges of sharing renewable marine resources in a sustainable and equitable manner across scales of governance. 

For nearly 20 years, I have had the privilege of engaging in diverse applied international research and capacity development projects in marine fisheries and aquaculture planning, management, policy and law in the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, North America, and Indonesia.

Through my work, I have contributed in incremental but meaningful ways to strengthening the skills and knowledge of government agencies and other management actors to address the complex and evolving challenges of sustainable marine resources development, conservation, and management around the Indo-Pacific region. I have also worked with these stakeholders to identify and develop more effective strategies and approaches for inclusive and participatory marine resource decision-making. These opportunities have also allowed me to develop valuable insights into different coupled human-environment contexts and to analyse the complexities of these contexts from a global perspective.

 

My current research focuses on the enabling environments and organisational processes and outcomes of multi-scalar, multi-stakeholder planning, decision-making, and evaluation in marine fisheries and aquaculture management. This work primarily focusses on the Western and Central Pacific Ocean region. I am particularly interested in identifying and exploring practical and equitable solutions for fisheries conservation and management issues related to food and livelihood security in marine and coastal social-ecological systems.

In addition to my research and capacity development work, I also guest lecture in ANCORS fisheries management short courses and in marine resources law.

I am also a part-time PhD Student at ANCORS, supervised by Professor Alistair McIlgorm, A/Prof Michelle Voyer, and Professor Quentin Hanich. The working title of my thesis is "The role of information and communication technologies for fisheries governance in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean".
