Libby works as the Education Implementation Consultant for Sport NZ Ihi Aotearoa. Her role focusses on supporting the implementation of initiatives in schools and kura across Aotearoa that support young people to be physically active. Libby’s passion for physical activity stems from its potential to provide opportunities for youth development, connection to community and positive wellbeing.  

Whilst learning about creating spaces for young people to thrive, Libby has developed a keen interest in youth participation and youth development, which led her to connect with Puāwai in 2022. Since this time, Libby has led the evaluation of the impact Puāwai is having, and also supports rangatahi to create and deliver community events called ‘Activators’.
