I undertook my Bachelor of Science Honours degree under the supervision of Dr. Jane Melville at Museums Vicotria back in 2004-2005.  Following this, I returned on two occasions to work with Jane on agamid lizard research at the museum.

I spent two years living in Southern Africa, where I was involved in field-based studies on cheetahs, meerkats, and pied babblers. On retuning to Australia, I worked on chestnut-crowned babblers and helmeted honeyeaters. I also worked for a short time as a zookeeper at Healesville Sanctuary primarily with Tasmanian devils and birds.

My broad research interests include ecology, molecular biology, conservation genetics, animal behaviour.

I am also a qualified Physiotherapist, which brings extra scope of knowledge and expertise, especially in the areas of anatomy and physiology.
