Biography

I am a lecturer at Charles Sturt University, where I teach across a range of livestock production subjects. My research expertise centres on the utilisation of male calves within the Australian dairy industry, which was the central focus of my PhD.

Before joining academia, I worked in the feedlot sector, gaining valuable industry experience that deepened my understanding of livestock systems and efficiency.I am passionate about continually improving the management and productivity of livestock operations.

Through my teaching and research, I aim to promote innovative, evidence-based approaches that support sustainable and productive livestock management across Australia.
