I've always been interested in what brings people to a place and what keeps them there. My Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning (Hons) at RMIT showed me many of the answers lie in housing policy. Zoning, planning reforms and housing targets can all shape how a place grows long before you move into it.

At Informed Decisions I lead our State to SA4 population forecasting, which frames our local forecasts. Much of my work involves delving into housing, infrastructure and economic policy (I'd do it for free, don't tell anyone), working out what it means on the ground and how our forecasts reflect it. I also work through the numbers with clients as they plan schools, infrastructure and services.

Outside work you'll find me in the kitchen or watching whichever Real Housewives franchise is airing.
