ABOUT ME

PhD Researcher

I am a recent PhD graduate from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
I am interested in the development of elasmobranch species and how these young, vulnerable life stages deal with abiotic and biotic changes within their environment, e.g., predation or elevated temperatures. Furthermore, I am interested in how these response differ among different populations within species.

My Journey to the Best Oceans
I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to travel and dive around the globe to see some amazing animals. Living in Australia has especially opened up my eyes to the variety of marine environments and organisms it has to offer. I hope you enjoy my images as much as I do.
