I finished my Diploma of Conservation & Land Management in June 2019, and loved every minute of it! I also studied Biology & Agricultural Science in High School, and love to learn about ecosystems and biological functions.

I am a member of, and run the Facebook page for Friends of Fotheringham, which is a volunteer group that helps local council to look after a lovely nature reserve in the City of Greater Dandenong in south-east Melbourne. Check out our page - https://www.facebook.com/FriendsOfFotheringham.

I’m also a data nerd. I am a data analyst by nature, and I’m lucky to work with what I love. I enjoy working with Excel, Access, and other database software.
