With a strong love of science and learning, I have been involved with teaching at all levels from preprimary children through to university students for twenty years. I have also taught at TAFE, the Western Australian Museum and worked as a guide for the popular GoBush activities coordinated by the Hills Forest, Mundaring. I have had several years experience in nature based tourism throughout Western Australia as a tour leader, driver and cook.
As chief scientist and co-organiser, I co-led Project Eakehei which undertook a program of zoological, ethnobiological and environmental impact research in rainforests of southern Ecuador. For this work, my colleagues and I were the only Australians to ever win a BirdLife International BP Conservation Award. As a biologist, I have worked throughout the southwest of Western Australia, in Victoria, Europe, South America and the United States. I continue to act as a consultant biologist/ecologist/conservationist and have been blessed with a beautiful family of three girls (including my partner!).
