I really enjoy writing about Ecology and entomology, and frequently write for The Department of Educations’ Scan Magazine, The Conversation and have been involved in educational videos, radio interviews and podcast recordings. I have over 100 000 reads on articles written in the Conversation, and have written a mixture of pitched and commissioned articles on a range of topics from bee swarms to TikTok and the Olympics to Floods.
Nearby Nature
One of my great joys, is getting people outside in nature. In collaboration with The Urban Field Naturalist and headspace Bankstown, we create walkshops to encourage people to get outside and do some citizen science
