ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site! I’m an Australia-based consultant working on international development and specialising in Governance in Fragile and Conflict Affected States. I work in program design, evaluation and research. My approach is based in analysis of institutional structures, stakeholder incentives, and identifying opportunities for accountable, responsive and inclusive governance. I am a PhD candidate at the University of QLD, an Ambassador of the Institute for Economics and Peace and in my spare time an avid rugby player. Thanks for visiting.
