Growing up under dark rural skies at the intersection of two major rivers teeming with wildlife ignited within me a curiosity for the natural world. To understand outer space more deeply than what the observations of the night sky in my hometown could provide, drove me to pursue a career in astrophysics and education. Since then, I have become an award-winning science communicator, author, and astrophysicist who gets to connect with audiences around the world about STEM across radio, television, and print media platforms.

As a Gomeroi woman I am guided by my responsibility to care for Country. I advocate passionately for dark skies to sustain ecological health and educate the public on measures we can take to fight species extinction as a Zoos Victoria educator. I am co-author of Astronomy: Sky Country (2022), winner of the Victorian Premier's Literary Award - People's Choice Award (2023) and shortlisted for Book of the Year by the Age (2022). In an effort to promote the incredible work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across all professions, I host the weekly radio show Indigenuity on Triple R 102.7FM where each week I interview an Indigenous person about their area of expertise.
