My Passions…

Fish and Shark Ecology

I enjoy exploring the intricate relationships of fish and sharks within marine ecosystems and understand the vital roles some of these species play. I love investigating behaviour, feeding patterns, and interactions of fish and sharks with their environment

Coral Reef & Marine Ecosystem Ecology

Coral reefs and marine ecosystem ecology are fascinating because these environments are incredibly diverse and complex, supporting a vast array of marine life. Understanding these ecosystems' interactions helps uncover the delicate balance that sustains them. Studying these ecosystems allows me to contribute to their preservation and recovery.

Stable Isotope Analysis

By studying a sample's isotopic composition, we can gain insights into diet, food webs, migration patterns, climate conditions, and environmental changes.

SCUBA & Technical Diving

Nothing beats exploring underwater worlds and discovering marine life in their natural habitats and continuing to try and expand and hone my underwater skills. The sense of adventure and the opportunity to see stunning underwater landscapes, from vibrant coral reefs to mysterious shipwrecks, fuel my passion for diving and deepen my appreciation for marine conservation.
