I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Fenner School of Environment and Society focusing on the conservation management of critically endangered birds. I completed my PhD with the DBRG in 2024 where I researched how captive breeding programs and can be used for species conservation actions, with a focus on the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster). I have worked professionally on a wide range of field-based conservation projects across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S., and also have a strong background in captive animal husbandry and release programs. My primary research interests centre around species conservation, especially the confluence of conservation science and management actions.
