Community talks & guided walks

Over the years, I’ve given talks and guided walks for various community groups, schools and events, including the Friends of Kings Park, Kings Park Volunteer Guides, WA Naturalists Club, Wildflower Society, Kimberley Society, Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council, the University of the Third Age, Perth Science Festival, Kings Park Wildflower Festival (Wildflowers & Superpowers exhibit), and a 5-lecture series for the Mature Adults Learning Association!

workshops & Teaching

Want to do something a little more hands-on? I’ve led a variety of botanical workshops (usually with a special focus on carnivorous plants), with audiences of all ages, including Carnivorous plant art workshops for Swan Libraries and the Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre.

I’ve shared my research at various primary and high schools throughout Perth, and as a guest lecturer for the University of Western Australia’s unit PLNT3301 Plant Physiological Ecology (2017-2019). I’ve also loved teaching as a lab demonstrator for PLNT2204 Plant Diversity and Evolution (2020) and tutorial leader for SCOM1101 Communicating Science (2018-2019).

Throughout my PhD, I’ve had the joy of attending and presenting at several academic conferences, including:
