Meet our scholars

Growing up in Perth, surrounded by some of the world’s finest beaches, I developed a deep appreciation for the ocean. This connection inspired me to pursue marine biology and environmental science. My passion lies in using technology within aquaculture to tackle food scarcity and poverty. Having witnessed poverty worldwide, it deeply affects me to see people struggle for basic necessities, motivating my commitment to using technology to bridge the gap in food security. I hope to contribute to advancements that balance marine conservation with global food security. Outside of my studies, I enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, hiking, camping, reading, and playing volleyball — hobbies that keep me active and constantly learning. Teaching swimming has also been rewarding, allowing me to share my love for water while helping others gain life-saving skills. These experiences fuel my drive to utilise technology to create innovative solutions for sustainability and food security.
