Biography

General Manager at Connect Macquarie Park + North Ryde

I’m a transport planner with experience integrating land use and transport through policies, programs and infrastructure.

I put my energy and enthusiasm to work in active and sustainable transport, applying standard transport planning tools to walking, cycling and public transport projects. I’m passionate about good planning and design for healthy, happy and connected neighbourhoods, businesses and public transport interchanges. I’m convinced that each transport mode has an important contribution to our cities — especially active travel modes like walking and cycling.

I am particularly proud of my role developing the NSW FutureNet Business Leaders program. After 7 years, FBL has a talented alumni of more than 190 young professionals and industry leaders.

Dr Ed Blakely and I collaborate on the Blakely City Talks, an action-oriented podcast of interviews with built environment professionals and encouraging anecdotes about building liveable, healthy communities.
