I founded Basalt Solutions to help organisations navigate complex challenges with clarity and fairness. My work spans independent investigations, organisational reviews, litigation support, and specialist training for leaders across the education, non-profit, and commercial sectors in New Zealand and Australia.

Before launching Basalt Solutions, I built a career in high-stakes investigations as a Detective Sergeant with the New Zealand Police, following an earlier career in education. Over more than a decade, I led investigations into serious and complex matters including sexual offending, fraud, corruption, misconduct, and transnational organised crime, requiring advanced risk management, cross-border and cross-jurisdictional collaboration, and the management of multi-disciplinary, multi-agency investigation teams. This experience taught me that thorough fact-finding and respectful engagement are essential for protecting people and organisations.

Since 2024, I’ve applied that expertise to organisational contexts, investigating workplace complaints and emerging psychosocial risks. I also deliver training and coaching to strengthen organisational capability.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me staying active, reading, or enjoying good conversation over coffee, craft beer, or a glass of red wine.
