Researcher biography

I am conducting a PhD with Martine Maron as my principal supervisor. My project will aim to assist in the development and planning of a target-based offsets model for the Northern Territory Government that will maximise outcomes for the Territory's unique biodiversity. 

I'm also a project officer for the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland. My role involves conserving South-East Queensland's population of the threatened brush-tailed rock-wallaby.

Prior to this, I worked as a field ecologist for Australian Wildlife Conservancy, where I was involved in mammal reintroductions at Mallee Cliffs National Park and Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary, two of the largest feral-predator free sanctuaries in Australia.
