Biography

I am a PhD candidate at James Cook University. My thesis uses statistical modeling to identify patterns in reef fish and soft-bottom community structure, and how those patterns relate to environmental characteristics on the Great Barrier Reef, as well as the management implications of this research. Science communication is my passion, and in my future career I'd like to be making different SciComm activities as diverse and inclusive as possible (e.g. having Auslan interpreters). I also adore all cats.
