I am a full-time ranger with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Oceania Representative on the International Ranger Federation Board, and the Regional Ranger Ambassador for the Thin Green Line Foundation. A self-taught documentary filmmaker, I am currently producing Guardians of Hope, a film about Oceania’s rangers, which I filmed during a self-funded year-long expedition, Walking the Thin Green Line. I am passionate about amplifying ranger voices and using storytelling to share their frontline experiences, dedication to conservation, and the challenges they face in protecting the natural world.
