Apart from being an avid sailor with over 40,000 miles under my belt, I’m a qualified coastal ranger and a marine biologist with a strong sense for conservation. My research at Massey University’s Coastal Marine Research Group focuses on the little known false killer whale. Ever the whale-hugger, I am also a core member of the whale stranding response group Whale Rescue. Additionally, I am an active member of Fish Forever and support the efforts to protect 10% of the Bay as a marine reserve. I enjoy what I do and I'm happy to share my passion and enthusiasm for the ocean with you.
