I completed my Bachelor of Science, specialising in ecology and conservation biology, at Monash University in 2015.

From 2015-2020 I worked as a Research Assistant in the Chown Lab at Monash University, working on invertebrate physiology with a special interest in Antarctic species. During this time I been on field work expeditions to Casey station on the Antarctic continent and to sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island.

Since 2020 I have worked as a Research Officer as a part of the international research initiative: Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future. My recent work has focussed on improving area protection in the Antarctic.
