Hello!

I completed my Bachelors and Masters in Biology at the University of Sheffield (UK), before moving to Tasmania to complete my PhD in Quantitative Marine Science at IMAS.

My PhD focused on using the body size structure of reef communities (the number of small, medium and large fish) to quantify the level of fishing pressure. Since my PhD I have worked as a Researcher, my work focusses on quantifying historical pressures on reef fish populations and reconstructing historical baselines — what fish populations could look like under minimal fishing or ocean-warming pressures.
