About
​

I am a wildlife ecologist, SuperStarofSTEM and 2018 Eureka Prize finalist.  I am an expedition leader at Bush Blitz - an Australian species discovery program.

​Previously, I have worked on research and restoration of critically endangered ecosystems, reintroducing locally extinct species, such as the Eastern Bettong and Eastern Quoll. I have developed highly successful education programs that focus on sharing science with policy makers, local community, early career researchers and students from preschool to university. 

I love inspiring people to be as passionate about the environment as I am. I created Australian Hiking to share this passion and to encourage others to get outdoors and sleep under the stars. 

In my spare time I enjoy making YouTube videos, hiking and packrafting.

I am available to provide one-on-one coaching (via video/phone) for hike planning and gear advice. Each situation is unique depending on the scale of the project but as a rough guide I charge $80 per hour. Contact me via email to discuss your project.

I have also worked on trail reviews and planning to help make hiking trails more enjoyable for hikers. If you have a trail you want me to help assess/review please get in contact via email.   

I also take bespoke tours based on client skills, expertise and interest.
