This is your Team Member description. Use this space to write a brief description of this person’s role and responsibilities, or add a short bio.

A chance encounter with an injured pelican 10 years ago evoked what has become my life’s passion. Since then I have rescued & cared for hundreds of birds, from giant petrels to arctic terns & everything in-between. With a dedicated team of skilled volunteers by my side we strive for the best outcomes for all wildlife we encounter.

I grew up in Coffs Harbour and completed my Bachelor of Science at UQ. I have worked with sea turtles for over 15 years all around the world, including Costa Rica, Barbados and the US. I have been the Project Officer for NSW TurtleWatch since 2019.
