She worked for nine years with environmental NGO Forest & Bird specializing in environmental law, and since 2019 has been working in environmental law independently.

We talked today about Sally's entry and motivation to study law as a means to effect environmental change. We spoke about the connection between policy and enacting environmental law, and the high-level proclamations we all make about environmental change. We spoke about her past and current environmental hearings on freshwater policy , about feral and domestic cats and their impact on dolphins, and how a lack of political courage can explain a lot about environmental inaction.
