I SPOKE TO 8,000 YOUNG LEADERS

ACROSS AOTEAROA

In 2024, I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at NYLD2024, where I toured Aotearoa/New Zealand, speaking in front of over 8,000 rangatahi to inspire them to create change! Watch my talk!

WATCH MY TEDX TALK

Through the power of connecting young people to nature, I believe we can change the world.

But how can we expect youth to take action for the planet when they’ve had little to no experience with being in the outdoors?
