ABOUT ME:

Avid amateur naturalist and aspiring ecological researcher with an keen interest in fauna. Based in the agriculturally-focused Barossa Valley region of South Australia. Interested in the uses of both technology and citizen science to enhance our understanding of the natural world, including the use of habitat suitability modelling and remote sensing. Also incredibly interested in invertebrate systematics and the better taxonomic understanding of underrepresented groups.

Experienced in the identification of tetrapods of SA with some knowledge of tetrapods of Australia in general. Some experience identifying some invertebrates but that is a current work in progress. If you want explanation of my reasons for an identification, feel free to tag or message me! Additionally, if there's an organism you want identified that you believe I can help with, feel free to just mention me in the observation!

Feel free to contact me for any other reason too; I'm always up for a chat!

CURRENT AND ONGOING GOALS:

Studying a BSc (Ecology and Environmental Science) at the University of Adelaide.

Undertaking informal non-standardised surveys to detect cryptic fauna in the Barossa Valley region.

Becoming better at identification of Australian fauna in general.

RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS:

2 research projects currently in progress (1 submission pending, 1 in progress).
