Profile
I am a hardworking and organised zoology graduate, capable of solving problems in challenging field
conditions as well as managing data and equipment. I also have working knowledge of CatDv after
logging rushes for three sequences of The Hunt at Silverback Films. As a research assistant in the
Australian outback, I wrote, filmed and edited a short documentary outlining research on the
breeding behaviour of chestnut crowned babblers (http://www.vimeo.com/149856451).
