Unveiling the secret nature of cities and giving you the power to enjoy, care for and protect biodiversity – right on your doorstep.
Scientist – Writer – Presenter – Content creator
Reconnecting everyday Australians with the rich world of nature that lives amongst them – and the science that explains it
It starts with an invitation – “Come here, there’s something I want to show you”
This is how I share the secrets of urban ecology: the science that explains the environment in which 90% of Australians live, work and play every single day. From the bustling metropolis to the quiet regional towns, every urban area can be a place where nature can thrive. All we need to do is take the time to notice, to understand, and to act. By bringing the science of urban ecology and conservation biology into the everyday conservation, I help people realise that nature is not just ‘out there’, but all around us – waiting to be discovered and enjoyed and cared for.
Public speaking
Get excited about the wondrous possibilities for nature in cities. With warmth and wit, I bring audiences up to speed on the latest science on the ecology of our urban environments – what’s there, how do we care for it, and how do we get more? Enquire below to have me at your next event.
Short-form videos
I love using social media to bring science to the masses. My engaging short-videos make even the most complicated topics accessible and show people that ecology really is all around us, every single day! You can find me on TikTok and Instagram.
Presenting
A confident and skilled presenter, I’ve worked with local and international production crews to explain the science behind wild encounters in our cities. Get in touch below you’d like to work together.
