Research Assistant at Flinders University Palaeontology Laboratory, Flinders University
In early 2023 I graduated my PhD with a thesis on the systematics and palaeoecology of the giant fossil kangaroo genus Protemnodon. My recent research focusses on the fossil kangaroos of New Guinea.
I undertook a Bachelor's Degree in science majoring in evolutionary biology at the University of Adelaide. My Honours project, also at Adelaide Uni, was on the fossils, evolution and biogeography of a peculiar genus of vine, Ripogonum, from New Zealand and eastern Australia.
