I am currently working with local and state government stakeholders and community to renew the Regional Catchment Strategy for the Port Phillip & Western Port region.

Led teenagers on camping expeditions throughout New England and eastern United States. I encouraged group participation and self-confidence in campers. At the conclusion of summer camp season, I continued on as a Group facilitator for adult groups for team building and adventure programs. Key Achievements: Led a group of campers on a nine-day trip to Washington D.C volunteering in homeless shelters and soup kitchens helping the underprivileged. Coordinated a group of campers on a seven-day horseriding tour of the Shenandoah Valley.

Directly monitored and supported a group of eight Year 9 students and also assisted with the supervision of the sixty other students participating in the intensive 10-week King Island Program. My greatest achievement was leading a group of 20 students on a seven-day hike around King Island from Currie to Grassy.
