About me
| Profile type | Researcher |
| Bio | I am postdoctoral fellow at Deakin University with a passion for science communication and increasing appreciation for the marine environment. I work part time as a research fellow in spider crab ecology and my main responsibility is to implement a citizen science program to gather data on spider crabs and their aggregations. I have a background in marine ecology and did my PhD thesis on seabird ecology. I also work part time as a project manager and science communicator at the Blue Carbon Lab. Prior to this, I worked as project manager for nature connection charity Remember The Wild, where I lead projects aimed at fostering stewardship for Port Phillip Bay and its connected waterways. Through my experience working as an Emergency Response Operator at Widlife Victoria, I have gained a keen interest in understanding the relationship between humans and wildlife, particularly in increasingly urbanised environments. I am researching human-wildlife conflicts to understand how humans and wildlife can coexist better. |

| Projects | I am currently leading the implementation of Spider Crab Watch – a citizen science program designed to collect data on understudied spider crabs and their aggregations. The Connected to Port Phillip initiative, from Remember The Wild and our dedicated partners, aims to inspire new and stronger connections with this extraordinary ecosystem and support those who work hard to look after it. By telling stories of its unique cultural heritage and amazing wildlife, we aim to help people in our community experience, understand, and care for, their Bay (https://connectedtoportphillip.com/). |
