© Pint of Science, 2018. All rights reserved.
I majored in microbiology, biochemistry and animal science; and researched Salmonella in my Honours year. I now work at Questacon developing and delivering innovation workshops. I am a scientist, communicator and creative who spends most of my time finding ways to do all three at once! I hope to bring my event management and science communication experience to Pint of Science in Australia, to build a stronger, sustainable and impacting festival. I am a research chemist-turned-systems analyst. I started volunteering for Pint of Science in 2015, and have been excited to be part of its expansion around Australia since then. In my spare time, I enjoy sharing science memes, baking and patting street animals. I am a postdoc in computational chemistry at Curtin University in Perth. I am involved with Pint of Science festival, because it combines my two favourite things - pints (of cider) and science! I am an award-winning fine artist and science communicator based in Canberra, exhibiting nationally and internationally. I use my background in natural science to explore the nature through art, telling its stories and helping people to engage with science in an inspired way.
