I completed my PhD in Palaeontology at Flinders University, on fossil skinks from the Tiliquini group - the blue-tongued lizards. I worked as an Information Officer at the South Australian Museum for four years where I developed an appreciation of Museum collections and outreach from 2016 to 2020. After PhD completion I became Museum Curator at the Edward de Courcy Clarke Earth Science Museum at UWA from February 2020 to 2023. I am currently looking after the Terrestrial Vertebrates (birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians) collections at the Western Australian Museum.
