Bio

I am a Director, Net Zero Taskforce in the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water leading a team advising on the development of Australia's Net Zero Plan.

I find opportunity through the decarbonisation transition in Australia's energy industry. I am an Economist with 12 years of experience in public policy advice for government and the energy industry, and my previous work has included decarbonisation strategy, energy market design, energy customer behaviour insights, public policy and long term labour market forecasts for skills needs in the transition to net zero. Previously, I led teams providing advice on climate change and EV policy as Director of Climate Change Policy for the ACT Government. Prior to that I provided analysis on energy markets and economic policy as an Associate Director with Deloitte Access Economics. I have a Masters of Economics from Monash Univeristy in Victoria and am a mentor to early career economists.
