About

I'm a conservation ecologist with a broad interest in the natural world, but I’m particularly interested in the research and management of threatened birds. Originally from South Australia, I studied at The University of Adelaide and for over a decade have been involved in conservation and restoration projects across South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. This work has included researching threatened mallee birds and reintroducing locally extinct mammals with the Wild Deserts project.

Now based in Tasmania, I am involved with several projects in the DBRG including forty-spotted pardalotes and swift parrots, focusing on habitat assessments, threatening processes, and effective on-ground management actions. I’m driven by my passion for the Australian landscape and its wildlife, and I am proud to be part of a like-minded team working to improve conservation outcomes.
