I completed my undergraduate degree in Marine Biology at James Cook University in Townsville Australia in 2006. I then received a first class Honours in Marine Biology at Charles Darwin University in Darwin in 2007; the title of my thesis being 'An information theoretic assessment of spot-pattern matching software and its application to population estimates of whale sharks'. I am currently undertaking my PhD on reef shark movement and feeding ecology at Charles Darwin University.
