I was born in Perth, Australia, where I have lived for most of my life (with a few months elsewhere here and there). I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 2019 with a degree-specific major in Intermediate Chinese Studies (UWA-CHNSI) and a secondary major in Linguistics. I ended up loving Linguistics and completed an Honours year in 2020.
I have interned with three of West Australia's Aboriginal language centres. In January 2020 I completed UWA's Work Integrated Learning unit having spent a month in Port Hedland at the Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre. From October to December 2021 I assisted Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring Language and Culture Centre in Kununurra with the planning, development, and delivery of their Miriwoong Language Nest program. In September 2022 I spent three weeks in Kalgoorlie at the Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre.
Externally to linguistics I have worked as a Team Leader in hospitality as well as both an Administrative Officer and Corporate Advisor with an accounting firm.
I started a PhD in Linguistics at UWA in September 2023.
My current research is affiliated with and funded by the Life After Digitisation: future-proofing WA's vulnerable cultural heritage Australian Research Council Linkage Project. This project, as it relates to my research, involves collaboration between four WA Aboriginal language centres, the Life After Digitisation project team, and the Digitisation Centre of Western Australia, to digitise vulnerable cultural collections held within language centre archives.
My research explores post-digitisation socialisation processes for the storage, management, and dissemination of these heritage collections, with a focus on language centre community perspectives and how digitised heritage material is to be used.
My Honours research was a typological investigation of reflexive expressions having lexicalised an emotional meaning in a sample of languages across Europe, Australia, and Asia. This research continued during 2021 and 2022 in collaboration with Dr Maïa Ponsonnet and Dr Marc Allassonnière-Tang.
