I am ecologist based in Taranaki, New Zealand. I have a PhD in Cave weta taxonomy and systematics. I have worked with a range of native species including geckos, kiwi, and invertebrates. I volunteer as part of the Taranaki Conservationist group and Dotterel defenders.
I work as a contractor on projects to enhance science and ecology in the Taranaki region. This includes fieldwork and education in schools.
