I am originally from Vanuatu and am currently pursuing a PhD at the Fiji National University on a PASS-CR scholarship from ACIAR. My research topic is ‘Regenerative climate smart traditional gardening systems and their contributions to Vanua’.

I completed my Master's Degree at the University of Queensland and my other postgraduate and undergraduate studies at the University of the South Pacific.

With a background in agriculture, I have worked at the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations office in Vanuatu and the Department of Tourism. I also served as the Training Manager at the Vanuatu Agriculture College. I have taught agriculture in colleges and worked extensively with rural communities on third-party certification processes and audits.
