Senior Economic Analyst for the NSW Ministry of Health, Australia. Most of my work experience has sought to address market failure and resource allocation in the environment and health fields within state government. The recent convergence of multiple unresolved issues have highlighted the need for a redistribution of resources and more sustainable living.
I think open discussions with a wide audience would be a good start to understanding how we can all live full, peaceful lives with each other and our surroundings.
