Noa has more than 15 years of experience in environmental assessment and management. At thinkstep-anz, she works with clients to develop decarbonisation roadmaps, product LCA, EPDs, product carbon footprints, and comparative studies.
Noa holds a PhD in Environmental Science focusing on LCA methodology and brings broad practical experience. She has worked in the private and public service and on diverse LCA projects ranging from water supply systems, electronic products, consumer goods, packaging and construction materials to New Zealand’s food and fibre industry.
She is passionate about helping clients understand their products' environmental performance and provide data that allows them to improve their impact. She especially likes helping start-ups that develop new products with lower environmental impacts than existing alternatives. Noa’s methodological approach and skills in many programming languages enable her to write scripts that leave less room for mistakes.
Noa is a Life Cycle Assessment Certified Practitioner (LCACP). She is also a member of the International EPD System Technical Committee and the Technical Advisory Group for EPD Australasia.
When Noa isn’t using her knowledge and skills to help businesses move towards a more sustainable future, she enjoys exploring Christchurch with her family and making essential oils from local flowers and plants.
