I am a Research Technician and scientific diver with CSIRO, investigating how Environmentally Friendly Moorings can reduce damage to seafloor habitats while supporting marine biodiversity. Combining ecology, engineering, and underwater fieldwork, my research explores practical solutions to protect seagrass, blue carbon ecosystems, and endangered species such as the Spotted Handfish. Ask me what happens beneath your boat and how smarter mooring designs can help restore healthier oceans.

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.
