I am a final-year undergraduate Geospatial Science student at RMIT, blending my technical background in GIS with a deep passion for wildlife photography and environmental documentation. My research currently revolves around “rescuing” archival naturalist data to assist conservation efforts and map the historical habitat of Flesh-footed Shearwaters across Western Australia’s remote Recherche Archipelago.
By digitizing records from islands that are rarely visited, in some cases spanning decades of absence from scientific study, I aim to create a modern spatial dataset and visual narrative to assist and guide the protection of this endangered species.
