Edith is an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in social and ecological sciences. Her work is grounded in a passion for our connection to places and in particular, the relationship between people, species, and the natural environment. Following her love for sea turtles, Edith completed her MSc. at James Cook University where she then spent a few years working in Oman as a GIS Environmental Consultant before pursuing her PhD at the University of Tasmania. It was there where she began developing tools, strategies, and partnerships to bridge scientific knowledge and public understanding. Today, this fuels her love for using visual tools to engage with the wider community.
Currently, her role as a Data Visualisation Analyst and HDR Support Associate for the NESP Resilient Landscapes Hub focuses on translating complex scientific data into interactive tools that are accessible and streamlined for practitioners to inform policy, as well as on supporting current HDR students toward ongoing success. As someone who values the power of collaboration and visual storytelling, she is driven to find unique pathways towards collective action.
