Re-weaving food system narratives

I’m a transdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of food systems, sustainability education, and environmental memory. My work explores how intergenerational learning, place-based practice, and community co-design can reconnect people to food, place, and each other. Through school gardens, policy advocacy, and grassroots engagement, I examine how growing and sharing food can become acts of resistance, care, and cultural continuity in the face of ecological and social disruption.

​

Beyond academic research, this space also includes a personal blog where I reflect on the ideas shaping my work. I see research as praxis—an ongoing process of living the ethos of my work in my own life. Through writing, projects, and everyday practices, I engage with the questions I study, seeking ways to bridge theory and action.

​

Here, you'll find insights into my research, current projects, and reflections on sustainability in practice. I hope this space sparks curiosity and dialogue—thank you for visiting!

Research Notes for the Everyday

I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of where I live, work, and play. The Yirrganydji and Gimuy Walubarra Yidinji of the Gimuy (Cairns) region where I began my research journey and the surrounding lands; as well as the Ngunnawal people on whose lands I currently live on. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and those who are yet to come. It is important that we recognise their long histories with Country, and Country herself. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
