She has over nine years’ experience undertaking aquatic ecosystem surveys throughout the State. Over this time, she has developed high-level skill in the management of aquatic fauna surveys and ecosystem monitoring projects, sample design, leading field teams, reporting, species-level taxonomy of aquatic macroinvertebrate fauna, data management, and analysis of ecological data using both uni- and multi-variate techniques.
