I've always loved telling interesting stories and exploring the natural world.
At university, I combined those passions, studying Marine Biology and Journalism.
After starting my career as a fisheries biologist, I made the move to journalism, first as a cadet reporter at The Cairns Post, before finding my feet across print, radio and television.
Today, I'm based in Mount Isa with the ABC's North West Queensland bureau, covering a vast and fascinating part of the country.
