I am an Antarctic Biologist and PhD candidate, and I love all things Antarctica! Currently I am researching at Monash University with Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future focussing on the conservation of plants and invertebrates in Antarctica and accounting for climate change impacts. Previously, I completed my MSc at the University of Waikato in my home country of New Zealand. There, I studied the movement of environmental contaminants in Antarctic penguin colonies, spending several weeks working around Adélie penguins. Antarctica is a beautiful and truly awesome place; it is a privilege to work safeguarding its unique biodiversity.

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.
