Through radio talk-back, television appearances, hosting documentaries and featuring in commercials, 30 year old Sheree has gained a reputation and profile among the Australian community, national corporate organisations and all levels of government as an expert in her field.
A regular guest speaker at universities, school groups and youth organisations, Sheree has become a role-model for young environmentalists. Her down-to-earth approach in delivering education, sustainability workshops, keynote addresses and after dinner speaking engagements makes her sessions entertaining, informative and above all interesting to people from all disciplines.

In 2002 Sheree’s profile was further heightened when she picked up three Young Australian of the Year awards: the National Unilever Environment Award, Young Australian of the Year (Victoria) and Victorian Unilever Environment Award.
Among other numerous awards and accolades, Sheree was the year 2000 recipient of the Queens Trust for Young Australians. This achievement gave Sheree the opportunity to present a paper on “Using the media as a powerful tool for environmental education” at an international education conference in Long Beach California, USA. |

In January 2002 Sheree established her own environmental communications consulting business that has now morphed into a dynamic sustainability consultancy, with leading scientists and business experts. In the short time the business has been in operation, Sheree has been commissioned by some of Australia’s leading national organisations to manage, provide advice and initiate environmental/sustainability projects on their behalf including Transfield Services, BOOST Juice Bars, The Grand Prix Corporation, Life Saving Victoria and celebrity chef Curtis Stone.

At the end of 2002 Channel 10 aired a two-part documentary series about marine life in Port Phillip Bay. This documentary was written, produced and presented by Sheree and future documentaries with the network are planned.
Sheree has also written and published many books. She has just finished her fourth book, KarmaSEAtra - Secrets of Sex in the Sea, a humorous read about the unique reproductive methods of seas creatures and the parallels they have with humans.
