What I Do
Author Visits
I would love to visit your school, library or workplace! I can run presentations, activities and workshops for any age group. Please get in touch if you are interested. Contact me directly or through Writers in Schools.
Articles and Reviews
I have written children’s book reviews for The Sapling and The Herald. My essays and opinions can be found on The Sapling and The Spinoff, and once upon a time I used to be a reporter for the Fiordland Advocate (now Advocate South). Let me know if there’s something you would like me to write for you.
Events and Workshops
I am open to invitations to speak or participate in your festival, panel, webinar, or other event. I can also run workshops for children or adults. Previously I have run a webinar and an event for adults about publishing children’s books for beginners.
Environmental Education
I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have taught environmental education in New Zealand and in New Hampshire, USA. My background is in ecology and experiential education. Contact me with work opportunities.
Research
I co-authored a literature review on the potential impacts of climate change on New Zealand’s biological heritage (Keegan et al., 2022), and a biological flora on kauri is in progress. I hold a BSc in Ecology and have experience with data collection in the field. Contact me if I can help with your research.
Other
I love having a variety of work so if you have a project or opportunity that you think is up my alley, please do reach out. I have experience in summer camp management, teambuilding facilitation, libraries, bookselling, and sales.
