About
“I have a passion for supporting change makers to do good in the world”.
Weave is led by Director Rachael Trotman, supported by diverse and talented independent Associates.
My passion is to enable those working to transform and restore. I align with values and approaches that consider the primary role of humanity as being to nurture the rest of life, for the good of all people and our shared planet.
I am Ngāti Pākeha, with ancestry stretching back through the United Kingdom, Barbados and Europe. I am Mum to two girls and we live in West Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
I hold an MA Hons Sociology (University of Auckland) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Ecology (Open University, Edinburgh).
I have 20+ years’ experience in research, evaluation, writing and facilitation across the social and environmental sectors. I work mainly with community organisations, philanthropy, businesses, local and central government. I am experienced and comfortable working with people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
