Her current focus is enabling the transition to electrified steelmaking, one of New Zealand’s largest government‑funded industrial decarbonisation initiatives. Her work also spans improving electricity and natural gas demand response, advancing energy analytics and automation, and strengthening organisational capability related to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme and emerging carbon border frameworks.
