I am one of those very fortunate people who get to combine my passion with work. My love of birds started in New Zealand, with a little kokako by the name of Kahurangi. I began volunteering at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre in the Waiararapa in 2012, and instantly fell in love with the native bush and all its inhabitants. I always had an interest in photography, but the birds here really kickstarted my photography career, as well as the support from family, friends and colleagues.

Now a full time Conservation Ranger & Technical Advisor, my role takes me deep into the lives of native birds, and how they are impacted by the world around them. By working in 'Breed for Release' progammes for many critically endangered species, documenting their journey is something I really enjoy sharing, as I often get to see aspects of their life you wouldn't normally. I have a very high expectation of myself when it comes to 'Ethical Photography', as I do believe you can see how comfortable an animal is in each and every photograph.

Each imagine tells a story of a moment in time of that particular animal, one that I hope inspires you to do your own bit for conservation, wherever you may be!
