Biography
I am currently working on research and monitoring of coral reefs and water quality across Western Australia's Marine Parks. My PhD research investigates the health and resilience of the Pilbara’s unique and highly diverse coral reefs, which exist at the edge of environmental limits and have the potential to serve as climate change refugia. Utilising techniques in ecology, biogeochemistry and 3D modelling, I am working to understand the current state of our reefs, what supports their continued resilience, and how to conserve and manage them into the future. I am a passionate advocate for gender equality in science and am part of the 8th cohort of Homeward Bound - a global leadership initiative aiming to heighten the influence and impact of women in STEMM.
