Professional conservation botanist and ecologist with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. I have a particular interest in the taxonomy, conservation management and ecology of eucalypts, orchids and threatened species.

I specialise in Eucalypt taxonomy and identification, though have worked on the threatened flora of NSW for several years, having seen and documented many of the listed threatened plants in the state since 2015 for conservation management activities. From this I have also developed an interest in orchids given so many are threatened and identification issues are common challenges.

Ultimately, I'm a sucker for a good ID challenge on any plant so bring it on.
