Science Communications Coordinator, Murdoch University

I completed a Bachelor of Molecular Genetics & Biotechnology at Curtin University from 2017-2019, then completed Honours in Environmental Science at Murdoch University in 2020 in partnership with the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions - my thesis investigated the recovery and impacts of soil microorganisms in mine site rehabilitation. In 2021 I worked as a Research Assistant at Murdoch University on a carbon storage in woodland restoration project. I also worked as a Communications Officer at Carbon Neutral, before moving to my current role as Science Communications Coordinator for SoilsWest at Murdoch University. In this role I undertake both research and science extension duties.
