Anything to do with people and the environment and I'm interested! I have been writing and commenting about education, the environment and other community-related matters since 2006. I'm a compulsive researcher. In 2009, I finished a thesis on Kapiti's water issues and am still researching outcomes there. This website and the work I do as a trustee for the Whitireia Foundation are part of my aspiration to contribute to 'shaping more sustainable communities'...also the title of my thesis. Look it up - it's free at www.j.co.nz.

I love that Header Picture.
Thanks for commenting on my header pic. That’s the view from our beach – Pukerua Bay – paradise really. One of the great things about blogging is getting to use images that would otherwise languish unseen in the depths of my hard drive.
