Promoting forestry: As a forester I feel proud to have worked in sector that offers numerous benefits. I had the privilege to work alongside amazing people who share similar pride in a truly sustainable, renewable industry. This is why I am so passionate about promoting and educating the public who largely misunderstand the sector and that are misinformed, which is the sector’s greatest threat.

Find yourself in the Forest: When I least expected it, I found myself in the forest. A non-forester, working in sustainable forestry, applying my knowledge of biodiversity conservation, fire & landscape management, education, and tourism, and learning a thing or two about silviculture along the way. How did I get here? I branched out.

Forest science in a changing climate: I was trained as a forester in Brazil and have for over 20 years now worked in Australia as a forest scientist. This pathway has largely been linked with understanding the role forestry can play towards climate mitigation outcomes, and that’s where I think many of the future opportunities will come for professionals wanting to work in the forestry sector.
