Master of Sustainability (Professional) Student

Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering; Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering

I am an environmental and sustainability consultant with over a decade of experience in environmental compliance, sustainability reporting, GHG accounting, and environmental advisory. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, and I am currently undertaking a Master of Sustainability (Professional) at Deakin University, specializing in Sustainable Regional Development under the research pathway. 

My research focuses on renewable energy deployment and land-use trade-offs in Australia, particularly the interactions between onshore wind and utility solar development, biodiversity conservation and trade-offs, and agricultural demand. Using spatial and systems modelling tools, I examine how ecological constraints, transmission infrastructure, and policy targets influence siting decisions. My work aims to contribute to low carbon energy pathways that balance environmental, economic, and land-use outcomes.
