Environmental Scientist

Morphum Environmental

Bio: I completed my BSc at Victoria University of Wellington majoring in Marine Biology, Ecology & Biodiversity and Cell & Molecular Bioscience followed by a BSc(Hons) first class majoring in Cell & Molecular Bioscience. I hold a PhD in Molecular Genetics from The University of Sydney and undertook postdoctoral research at Yale University and in France developing gene therapies for neuromuscular conditions. I made the shift back to environmental work in 2023 which is more in line with my passion for the environment and working towards a sustainable future. I currently work as an Environmental Scientist at Morphum Environmental. I am passionate about creating sustainable environmental outcomes and protecting our natural world with a particular interest coastal and marine environments
