An independent consultant and researcher, system dynamics modeller, facilitator, and project and process manager primarily working in natural resource management. My broader interests centre on problems that are complex, controversial, and uncertain, and which involve multiple stakeholders and actors, as demonstrated in my consulting and my applied research. I am inspired by the notion of research actually being ‘used’ rather than just being potentially ‘useful’, which motivates me to interweave my research interests with my experience in stakeholder engagement and development. I am currently dedicating my time to a combination of consultancy, applied research, and capacity development in a range of fields and domains, including integrated water resources management, integrated ocean management, climate change adaptation, sustainable land management, and collaborative modelling.
