Townsville, Queensland, Australia

I am investigating the fine-scale habitat use of green turtles in foraging grounds with satellite telemetry. I specialise in spatial and time series modelling with animal movement data in R and GIS software. This project is a collaboration with partners in industry, and the QLD Department of Environment and Science. I conducted fieldwork for ongoing.

Townsville, Queensland, Australia

Tutoring masters course in statistics and its application in life sciences with R software (weekly classes and one-on-one tuition for Australia Awards Scholarship Program). I developed a guest lecture for Masters course “Techniques in Marine Biology” and R tutorials for undergraduate course “Technical Applications in Ecology” on using continuous time.

I welcomed new higher degree by research students with a campus tour to discuss and address their needs, and provided continued peer support during the program.

Cayman Islands

I conducted night surveys to tag and collect genetic samples from nesting female sea turtles, and excavate hatched nests to assess hatching success. I contributed to turtle friendly lighting community awareness programs, and responded to turtle emergencies via the turtle hotline.I contributed to the development of protocols for emergency response and.

Costa Rica

I coordinated monitoring and conservation activities at a marine turtle nesting beach in Costa Rica. I scheduled and led night patrols involving flipper tagging, collection of DNA samples, biometric data collection and body condition checks of sea turtles. I was responsible for hatchery maintenance and surveillance and conducted nest exhumations to.

Perth, Australia

In a small research team I conducted boat and shore-based surveys, and photo-identification of wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins to investigate human-wildlife interactions. I processed camera trap photos in terrestrial ecology studies investigating the use of urban areas by native wildlife, and the distribution of pest species such as foxes. I also.
