Australian wildlife has always fascinated me and driven my enthusiasm to complete a veterinary degree in Sydney and go on to study koalas in my PhD at the University of Adelaide, Australia.

My working life starting in scientific research, working in the areas of immunology, diagnostic testing, microbiology, therapeutics and quality control. I completed my Veterinary Science degree at the University of Sydney, Australia and worked in small animal practice in Adelaide. I then decided to follow my passion in wildlife health and carry out at PhD at the University of Adelaide on the interactions of disease in South Australian koalas with a focus on koala retorvirus (KoRV).
