Researcher biography
I am a passionate conservationist and started my professional career in 2010. I have a substantial career focus on threatened species conservation, human-wildlife coexistence, and environmental advocacy. My Ph.D. project will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders and develop effective communication strategies for koala conservation on private land. This interdisciplinary research, particularly, would deploy social sciences to understand the motivations and barriers of private landowners to uptake conservation covenants and what communication approaches effectively lead to conservation favoured decision-making.
