wicki Nielson

Working for AGF provides Wicki with the opportunity to work with two of her own great personal passions – live music events and environmental sustainability. 

Wicki started her journey of working with AGF as a volunteer assessor back in 2010. Prior to this she had been working in the waste and recycling sector for 7 years, as well as studied music production, worked at, and performed as a DJ at many events and festivals – so was very familiar with the challenges of coupling great crowds with Earth friendly behaviour.

Since starting to work with AGF, Wicki has obtained a BSc in Environmental Management and an MSc in Sustainable Tropical Forestry. In addition to her engagement with AGF, she is also working as a freelance consultant and auditor within a variety of aspects related to sustainable resource use, including legality and chain of custody certification of timber and forest-based products and water stewardship.

Wicki is currently working with AGF as Senior Assessor as well as being involved in other aspects of the organisation, including project management of Greener Arena assessments, training of new assessors, and the maintenance and updating of the normative documentation required to uphold the integrity of the AGF services.
