In 2024, I completed my PhD in Agricultural Science at the University of Western Australia, where I explored the effects of black soldier fly larvae frass and biochar on soil biology, microbial composition, and crop growth. I then continued at UWA as a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Agriculture and Environment, where I work on a soil science challenge project focused on sustainable nutrient management. 

My broader interests include nutrient cycling, soil carbon dynamics, plant–microbe interactions, and the transformation of organic wastes—such as frass, biosolids, dairy and food digestates—into high-efficiency soil amendments. I collaborate closely with industry partners, supervise master's students, and contribute to both field and teaching programs. Before starting at UWA, I worked as an agricultural science instructor, gaining hands-on teaching experience in agronomy and soil fertility management.
