I’m a marine ecologist turned “Sustainability Therapist”. I help coastal communities, businesses, and governments work better together and with nature. I began by studying tiny seabed creatures and how they respond when their environment changes. That led me to explore what is truly sustainable and what is not. Now I use that science along with a range of negotiation skills I have picked up along the way to bring people together and find smarter, fairer ways to use our oceans. Think of me as an eco-referee, with seaweed on my shoes and mud between my toes.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
