So, introduction.

I am the Policy and Advocacy Manager at Environment Victoria, the peak not-for-profit environmental advocacy organisation in #Victoria. I am also an #EnvironmentalLawyer having practiced in #pollution #EnvironmentalJustice #climate and #biodiversity law.

At Environment Victoria I lead a team of nerds who use their campaign and advocacy skills to:
- fight for the #MurrayDarlingBasin and other #rivers
- bring in #CleanEnergy and accelerate the #EnergyTransition to slow down #climatechange and
- protect our critters and #nativeforests

An important part of my role is to help our #CommunityOrganising team empower communities to engage in environmental decision making, and parliamentary and democratic processes, to shift the balance of power to people.

I'm also on a mission to spread the word that #policy isn't dry and dull. #EnvironmentalPolicy and #ClimatePolicy impacts us all whether we realise it or not. It's an incredibly dynamic and creative space that we all should feel comfortable to engage with and influence.
