I currently work for the Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation as the Systems Implementation Manager. The foundation aims to fund and facilitate science and research programs, as well as provide supplementary support to management initiatives, student projects and outreach activities which will benefit the conservation of Macquarie Island. Whilst working at the Foundation, I am also undertaking a PhD at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, working with a team to develop a molecular ecosystem monitoring framework for Macquarie Island. My primary area of research focuses on the integration of DNA metabarcoding data, into food web networks and models.

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.
