I undertook my PhD (Zoology) at the University of Oxford investigating the evolutionary ecology of parasitic birds. I followed this with short postdocs at Oxford and the Australian National University, also working on avian ecology and evolution. In 2014 I took up a University of Sydney Postdoctoral Fellowship to work on the evolutionary ecology and genetics of bees. In mid-2018 I began a Lectureship in Evolutionary Biology at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. In 2022 I began as an ARC DECRA Fellow researching the genetics and ecology of native Australian bees.
