I am a proud Dunghutti Gumbaynggirr women with strong cultural connections to Birpai/Birripi Country and Bunjalung Country on the East Coast of Australia.

I am currently studying a Doctor of Philosophy in Arts Education within the School of Indigenous Australian Studies at Charles Sturt University on the topic of 'Koala Dreaming'. My research will investigate the ecological conservation of my personal totem the koala, through the investigation of Indigenous Methodologies and Western Methodologies to create a more holistic management practice. 

I also have recently been accepted to study a Master of Philosophy of Biodiversity, Conservation and Management at the University of Oxford in 2023. At Oxford I will be building my skills to further my understanding of interdisciplinary approaches to scientific research.
