I am currently a PhD candidate at Macquarie University. I completed a Masters by Research at Macquarie University on wet-dry tropical wetlands in Far North Queensland. I am passionate about river health, and the role scientific research can play in informing policy makers and practitioners of the benefits of sustainable and resilient river management. With a career, degrees and experience in both financial analysis and environmental science, I was attracted to this project because of the unique mix of interdisciplinary research it involves.
