Meet our scholars

I am a PhD candidate in structural biology investigating how man-made “forever” chemicals, such as BPA and PFAS, disrupt endocrine regulation in humans and Australian wildlife. My personal experience living with endometriosis and navigating endocrine health challenges has given me a firsthand understanding of the real-world consequences of hormonal disruption, fuelling my commitment to research that addresses these issues at their source. Outside the lab, I find joy in nature through hiking, surfing, and caring for native ecosystems, which further strengthens my dedication to research that protects both people and the environment. I also enjoy travelling internationally to immerse myself in other cultures, practising yoga, and reading. Through my work, I aim to generate evidence that informs sustainable environmental policy, supports the transition from harmful chemicals to safer alternatives, and helps address chemically driven reproductive decline.
