Junior Environmental Consultant

I have a keen interest in fire and plant ecology and am passionate about fostering nature stewardship in communities. After gaining a BSc in Ecology and Geography & Environments in 2023, I undertook a Dean Summer Research Scholarship at the Fire Centre where I conducted a research project investigating the effects of thinning on fire hazard in the Eastern Tiers.

This led to my employment as a research Field Technician, where I gained hands-on experience in fire ecology across various Tasmanian landscapes, from planning and executing vegetation and fuel surveys, to monitoring post-fire restoration projects. I am well versed in a variety of field techniques pertaining to the survey and monitoring of vegetation, fuel, and fauna. Alongside my fieldwork, I have developed solid technical writing skills in report writing and research.

In my spare time, I enjoy tending my veggie garden, and hiking and swimming in nature.
