About Me
I’m a One Health epidemiologist living in the Aorere Valley, where I combine scientific expertise with community action and nature connection. After 20+ years working internationally and in New Zealand on various health challenges, I’m now focused on contributing locally here in the Aorere Valley – supporting food security, biodiversity monitoring and helping others to reconnect with nature’s healing power.
Community Focus
What we are creating
Right now, we’re organising monthly meetings to share skills, produce, experience and questions. This also involves setting up a community garden at Bainham Hall: Raised garden beds, a tool shed and a composting systems. These projects bring neighbours together while creating resources everyone can use. Have materials, skills, or time to contribute? We’d love your help.
Next gathering date: 21 July 2026 (Preparing Ourselves and Our Communities:)
