I developed a love of ecology whilst growing up and owner building a mudbrick house with family in the heart of the box ironbark forests of Central Victoria. I studied a Bachelor of Conservation Ecology (Hons) at Deakin University, where I won an Earthwatch Institute Research Fellowship to study with Professor David Lindenmayer and his team at Jervis Bay during my final year.

I have been working with the Fenner School for 5 years, starting off volunteering and now managing all the Victorian Long Term Monitoring Programs and their various trials, experiments and studies.

I have also been assisting other research officers in the team in the N.S.W studies in Jervis Bay, South West Slopes and now the Murray C.M.A Biodiversity Baseline Monitoring Program.
