My work ranges from traditional forms of research & reporting to collaborating on creative and artistic research projects, mostly related to Indigenous agriculture, sustainability, Indigenous identity and Aboriginal culture. I am available for interviews, seminars and workshops for organisations open to learning about country (truth-telling), understanding Indigenous sustainability and discussing the broader definition of Indigenous agriculture, beyond native foods.
