Biography

I am a wildlife ecologist with research interests in threatened species conservation and management, vertebrate pest control, predator interactions and wildlife monitoring. I completed my Honours and PhD research in Tasmania, investigating the cause of decline of the eastern quoll. In 2015‑16 I worked in Canberra helping develop and refine appropriate monitoring techniques to detect and eradicate rabbits from a predator-proof wildlife reserve. Since 2016, I have been working with various state government agencies on improving feral cat management in eastern Australia. I was the Queensland representative on the National Feral Cat Taskforce (2016-2018) and currently provide technical advice to several feral cat control and eradication programs across Australia.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
