Research geologist with skills in radiometric geochronology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, tectonics, and geochemistry. I'm an advocate of open science, environmentally responsible practices, consideration of accessibility, and equality. I also have keen interests in data management and visualisation, statistics, coding (Julia, R, Visual Basic for Applications), and photography.I completed my Bachelor of Science (Honours) at the University of Adelaide in 2014 and in 2018 I returned to undertake a PhD in Earth Sciences, being awarded the degree in 2022. My PhD research was on the detrital zircon provenance, stratigraphy, and palaeogeographic and tectonic evolution of the Neoproterozoic portion of the Adelaide Superbasin, South Australia.
 
My current research focuses on method development for geochronologic and geochemical tools for Li pegmatites.

My current research is investigating the application of novel in-situ geochronometry on lithium rich minerals found in LCT type pegmatites, and the geochemical and spectral characteristics of these minerals.
