Pterosauria, Dinosauria

Biography

I am a PhD candidate at Curtin University and palaeontologist passionate about preserving natural history collections and advancing our understanding of Australia’s ancient past. During my PhD, I have named the two of the most complete species of Australian pterosaur and collaborated with museums to create engaging museum displays and educational materials for school-aged students. As a Research Associate at Kronosaurus Korner and the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History, I have spent more than 32 weeks in the field, leading teams of volunteers as they dig up 100 million-year-old fossils.
