I first became interested in mesophotic coral communities during my Masters and PhD research. After completing my doctorate at James Cook University on coral assemblages of the Great Barrier Reef, including a review of the genus Leptoseris, I undertook postdoctoral research on soft corals at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Since then, I have worked in Marine Protected Area management with the Queensland [state] Government and with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. More recently I have worked in senior policy roles in fisheries and aquaculture, water resource policy and legislation, and food and agriculture policy with the Queensland Government. I have also held senior adjunct positions with James Cook University and the University of Queensland. I maintain a strong interest in coral reefs especially mesophotic reefs and continue to collaborate internationally, especially regarding the taxonomy and ecological role of the coral Leptoseris on MCEs.
