I am an ecologist and environmental consultant with over 30 years’ experience in northern Australia. My research interests focus on improving environmental management. They span conservation ecology, biogeography, fire and biodiversity management, and Natural Resource Management planning.
I have worked extensively on the food and habitat requirements of threatened birds, producing both academic publications and management guidelines.
I also work in the interface between research and management, helping landholders, NRM groups and Indigenous organisations meet their research, planning, management and conservation goals.
I currently represent the Kangaroo Island Landscape Board on the Kangaroo Island Bushfire Management Committee.
