- Biography:
- I am an environmental social scientist with expertise in equitable governance of aquatic resources in low and middle income countries. My primary research contribution has been to illuminate interactions between governance scale, productivity and distribution of aquatic goods and services – particularly fisheries for food and nutrition security. I have published on these topics in (for example) Nature, Global Environmental Change, Ecology and Society, Ambio, Human Ecology, Food Security, and Fish and Fisheries based on my empirical research in Australia, Tonga, Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands and through the research program I lead that engages in the Pacific, Asia and Africa. Since award of my PhD in 2013, I have been continually employed at WorldFish (an international research organisation part of the CGIAR focused on food secure futures) and maintained extremely productive partnerships with, for example, the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University (where I am a Partner Investigator and Board Member), and more recently the Centre for Marine Socioecology at University of Tasmania (where I am an Affiliated Researcher). Throughout my career I have been committed to building the capacity and recognition of early career researchers, particularly those from low and middle income countries and women in science.
