What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to contribute to marine conservation efforts while continuing to grow professionally in a supportive and dynamic environment.

I am a motivated individual with a Bachelor of Coastal and Marine Science from the University of Newcastle, where I also minored in Tourism and Environmental Regulation. My education has equipped me with a strong foundation in marine biology, ecology, and environmental regulation, complemented by hands-on experience through internships and research projects. I have developed a keen interest in conservation, particularly through my internship at the Juara Turtle Project in Malaysia, where I contributed to turtle conservation efforts and gained valuable field experience.

In addition to my academic background, I have honed my leadership and communication skills through various roles, including as a swim instructor and dive master. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality customer service. My diverse work experience, from bartending to teaching, has instilled in me a strong attention to detail and a commitment to achieving set outcomes. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a role that aligns with my passion for marine conservation and environmental sustainability.
