Teaching university students at the Taronga Conservation Society Australia in collaboration with the University of Sydney. The majority of students are in their undergraduate studies working towards a science degree, with courses focusing on human/animal interactions, wildlife conservation, domestication and agriculture, animals in captivity and animal welfare, and the biology and evolution of Australian animals. Courses are taught both in the classroom and in the field (mainly Taronga Zoo Sydney).

Assisting in the various research activities at UNSW's Centre for Ecosystem Science. Jobs include organising events, data transcribing and entry (using Microsoft Excel and Access), data sorting and correcting, species identification, admin tasks and increasing diversity (and visibility) of minority groups in the centre.Two main projects I’ve assisted on are the annual Eastern Australian waterbird survey as well as plant identification surveys. Both projects have involved data transcription, translation and entry as well as involvement in social media posting and using various data entry/analysis programs.

This includes the various work experience I have in the realm of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, which includes (but is not limited to):- Co-headlining a 2023 science comedy show at Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals- Presenting at the Science Tent at the 2023 Splendour in the Grass music festival- Working with both the Sydney Powerhouse Museum and Sydney Observatory - Consulting on the Ally Training program at UNSW, as well as being present on multiple panels discussing LGBTQ+ issues.- Sitting on the UNSW Science "Wear it Purple Day" panels to discuss visibility of LGBTQ+ issues and people in STEM- Various Mardi Gras/Pride campaigns with UNSW- 2020 STEM Village Symposium (virtual, but based in UK) speaking on a panel about Drag, LGBTQ+ issues and working in STEM careers- 2021 "Science is a Drag" virtual drag show (based in UK)- Performing and hosting corporate events including at UNSW, the Children's Cancer Institute, and Beyond Blue- Various live drag performances around New South Wales

Field Staff on GVI Thailand's Chiang Mai project focusing on:1) Rehabilitating captive elephants from the tourism industry and reintegrating individuals to life in the forest. Data collection on foraging and social behaviors.2) Collecting ecological data on the local biodiversity, including the compiling of species identification lists for flora and fauna. This also involved creating teaching content for volunteers on local and global wildlife conservation initiatives.3) Community outreach including english language, environmental and conservation education to local schoolchildren and adults.All aspects of the position involve the management, training and education of international volunteers and interns.

Conducting research on the effectiveness of artificial waterholes and utilization by elephants and other large herbivores within and surrounding the Chobe National Park, Botswana. This involved camera trap data collection and analysis, assisting on ongoing projects with Elephants Without Borders such as human/wildlife conflict mitigation, GPS collaring, wildlife veterinary procedures, community outreach, report writing for government bodies and social media posting.

Internship involved the design and implication of research on a topic of your choice, mine being large herbivore counts to establish an estimate of population size for the ungulate species found on the reserve. Other duties included assisting with alien plant control, habitat surveys, bird surveys, and fecal analysis for parasites (in various wild and domestic species). I was also asked to give lectures on the natural history of the area, giving new participants to the program information on the wildlife found in the area (mainly mammals and birds). I also took new participants on walks to teach them tracks and signs, plants, and navigating themselves within the reserve. This data collection required the use of GPS devices.

Assisted in the collection and input of behavioral and spacial data on large mammal species, including but not limited to lions, leopards, elephants, rhino and buffalo. Herbivore, bird and tree surveys were also carried out to assist in reserve management, as well as lectures on the natural history of the area and current conservation issues. It was also required to conduct a debate with the other interns on a current conservation issue, as well as design and implement a leadership project. My project was the creation of a giraffe identification kit in which individual giraffes can be identified by their spot patterns. This was to aid in reserve management and to monitor animal health and movements, as well as gather information on the population's gender and age ratios. This data collection required the use of radio transmitting and GPS devices.
