My background and passion is in horticulture and open space design. I have had over 15 years’ experience in landscape design and construction, from being a landscape apprentice to small business operator. With these tools I have furthered my education in sustainable landscape design and project management, adding to my desire to design and build bigger and better open spaces.
My past 10 years has been in Local Government in Open Space design, delivery and maintenance.
In 2023, I managed the successful delivery for the design and construction of Comely Banks Recreation Reserve, a regional sporting hub for rugby and cricket located in Officer, Victoria. A proud achievement taking the concept design to fruition.
I was also known for my work at Deep Creek Reserve in Pakenham, Victoria where I delivered an all abilities playground, design and construction of wetlands and boardwalks as well as interpretational signage and walking trails. Deep Creek Reserve was awarded the Premier’s Sustainability Award in 2021.
