I am an Environmental Scientist (Spatial) in the Water and Wetlands team in the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). I use drone, aerial, and satellite imagery to monitor wetland inundation and assess the ecological outcomes of environmental flows across the NSW portion of the Murray–Darling Basin. My work focuses on developing new spatial methods to better understand wetland regimes in complex environments, and collaborating closely with vegetation, waterbird, and frog monitoring programs to support evidence‑based environmental management.

Previously, I worked as the Seabird Remote Sensing Ecologist with the British Antarctic Survey’s Wildlife from Space team. In this role, I used very high-resolution satellite imagery to monitor seabird populations on some of the most remote islands on Earth—places where traditional research methods are often not feasible. My career has taken me to many remote and exciting locations, including isolated islands and the stunning landscapes of Antarctica.

I have a background in functional ecology and evolutionary biology, and my broader research interests focus on understanding how animals adapt to changing environments. I use large-scale datasets to answer novel, wide-scale ecological questions.
