Louise aims to ensure that risky genetically engineered (GE) foods are not released into our natural environment and challenges the lax standards currently set by the government food and gene technology regulators.

Louise has a long history with Greenpeace, having first joined the organisation as a volunteer almost 20 years ago.

She has held a variety of positions in non-governmental organisations around the globe. Louise was the director or Corporate Watch in the UK where she investigated the practices of biotechnology companies. She has also worked as a campaigner for The Greens in New Zealand and Environment Victoria.

Louise has a masters in biodiversity and conservation from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom and an honours degree in biology. It was during her university studies that she first became aware of the dangers of GE food.

Louise is also passionate about animals and has undertaken conservation research on dolphins in Scotland and fish in Bangladesh.
