I studied horticulture at Lincoln University in the 1980’s and subsequently did a PhD in the Soils Department there looking at nutrition issues of radiata pine. I then worked as a scientist at the CRI Forest Research (now called Scion) in the area of forest sustainability for 11 years. I retrained as a teacher and was a relief teacher at a local high school for 6 years. I started at the BHU in 2012 as a part-time technician and have also taken on the roles of Year 1 Garden Manager and Vermiculture tutor.
