Q: Are there any hobbies or passions that influence how you lead projects?
A: I spend most of my free days outdoors (I love hiking, camping, wild swimming, the whole lot). Those experiences have definitely taught me the importance of preparation, but also patience, adaptability and remaining calm when things aren't so straightforward or when things don't go to plan. I like to think that, that balance shapes how I approach managing projects; plan well, stay flexible and keep moving forward.
Q: How do you keep your team motivated during difficult or long projects?
A: Projects can get tough at times, so I try to keep things manageable by breaking the work into clear steps and celebrating progress along the way. I also make a point of keeping communication open and checking in regularly so the team feels supported and heard.
Q: What's something people might be surprised to learn about you?
A: Every so often I get really into home preserving and become a bit obsessed with pickling, making big batches of jam, or drying heaps of herbs to blend into teas. Just last week I made jam from 4kg of wild blackberries.
