My Story
After growing up in Australia and Europe, I developed a healthy appreciation for both understanding the history of things as well as the natural world. I decided to undertake a BSc and MSc in ecological physiology, and am now embarking on my doctoral adventure at the University of Auckland. I am fascinated by the adaptive physiology of species inhabiting extreme and variable environments, as well as the capacity and plasticity of these systems to compensate and maintain performance under changing environmental conditions. I live with my fur baby, a rather overzealous rescue husky called Hunter.
Extra CurricularTennis, swimming and chasing after my over-excited husky!
