Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, I'm a stratigrapher and science communicator. My research focuses on using stratigraphic and palaeontological principles to understand how environments and life has changed throughout Earth’s history. I have particular interest in understanding the evolution and subsequent preservation of biominerals throughout Earth's geological history. I hold a BSc and a BSc (Hons) in Applied Geology and a MRes thesis on a new lagerstätte in Western Australia obtained from Curtin University. I have spent time in both industry, government, and academia working as a geoscientist. Outside of the office I have a strong passion for science outreach in STEM, in doing so creating the persona “The Rock Dr” to help delineate the line between scientists and the general public. When not doing science I can be found outdoors on a hike or inside playing games and reading.
