I am a mixed animal veterinarian and wildlife researcher with the Ulverstone Veterinary Clinic in north-west Tasmania, where I combine clinical practice with conservation medicine and wildlife health research. I am also currently completing a PhD with Adelaide University investigating how our farming landscapes influence the health of wild quolls. My work spans wildlife disease surveillance, population health monitoring, and conservation research, with projects involving quolls, bandicoots and platypuses. Passionate about the connections between animal, environmental and human health, I work at the intersection of veterinary science, ecology and conservation.

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.
