Biographical Notes
I am currently undertaking a Masters project part-time while working full-time at ARPANSA, Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, Yallambie.

I completed a Bachelor of Science (Geology) at La Trobe University in 2000. After finishing my degree, I travelled overseas and then obtained full-time work at David Mitchell Ltd., having worked as a vacation geologist for them in 1999. I secured a full-time position in the radiochemistry laboratory at ARPANSA in 2001. Since then I have worked on and off in different sections at ARPANSA with a break of a year to go sailing on the HM Bark Endeavour. I am now back in the radiochemistry laboratory where I spend most of my time testing drinking water samples for natural low-level radiation.

In my spare time I enjoy travelling, sailing, working out at the gym, spending time with friends and family and sunny days at local wineries.
