Biography
I completed my BSc (Zoology) at The University of Western Australia (UWA), during which time I developed an interest in behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly sexual selection. This eventually led me to obtain a MBiolSc (Zoology) at UWA. Now as a PhD student, my research will focus on sexual conflict and ornamentation in the cowpea seed beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus).
In addition to my research, I am currently a Tutor at the UWA School of Indigenous Studies (SIS) and a Peer Supporter at UWA's The Living Room (TLR).
