In late 2015 I volunteered to take part in Parks Victoria's annual Kangaroo Count at Churchill National Park, the day consisted of working in teams of 6 to observe and count kangaroo's along a transect along uneven and shrubby terrain. Image to the right is an email from the PV ranger.
I took part as a student representative for Deakin University at the Australian Council of Deans of Science in July 2017.
In September 2017, I was invited to attend and speak as Science Student Representative for Deakin University at The Australia Conference on Mathematics, Science and Engineering at Monash University, along with 3 other students from various Universities.
In early 2015, I along with 3 other team members walked the Oxfam 100km trailwalker on behalf of a late friend. Along with exercising team work and leadership skills, we raised awareness and over $7000.00 to fight environmental and health issues globally. The collection of images to the left denote our journey along the way, along with the emotional and heartfelt impact our walk had on the mother of our late friend.
