I have a long history in customer service and administration, and I have furthered my interest of nature into study, gaining my Diploma in Conservation and Land Management in 2012.I have lived in the Bendigo region for over 20 years and am knowledgeable to local environments when it comes to cultivating as well as deterring wild pests, having recently spent over a year documenting weeds and growing patterns in the Barkers Creek area in liaison with clients (property owners). Over the past year I have taken leadership roles in workshop presentations and online blog communities celebrating and educating on different sectors within the local wildlife field, attended by a variety of members of the Central Victorian community.
