Hi there! I'm a Lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology. I’m interested in coral reefs 🌊🥽, data science, and teaching. My research as a part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program is on modelling coral rubble risk across the Great Barrier Reef and assessing risk of novel interventions.

• 👩‍🏫 I teach the Geospatial Information Science course at Queensland University of Technology and am an organizer of the Geospatial Community in Meanjin.

• 💻 I'm leading the development of a Flood Vulnerability Index for Brisbane City following the Digital Mud Hackathon in the aftermath of the 2022 floods in Brisbane.

• 🌱 I’m currently learning Git for version control(!), Rmarkdown products, and quarto.

• 2022: Best Poster, Queensland University of Technology Early Career Research Symposium
• 2022: Finalist, Queensland Women in STEM Awards

• Co-Organizer, Brisbane Geospatial Community of Practice
• Co-Organizer, R-Ladies Brisbane
• I regularly contribute to R training in Brisbane at Research Bazaar Queensland. I've also developed and led 2 sessions at ResBaz on building a community of practice website using R.

• PhD (2021): Drivers of coral reef composition, cryptic marine biodiversity, and coral health along the north coast of Timor-Leste (UQ)
• BS (2012): Science of Earth Systems (Cornell)
