Collection Manager, Vertebrate Palaeontology, Museums Victoria Research Institute

Collection Manager, Vertebrate Palaeontology, Museums Victoria Research Institute I am a palaeontologist at Museums Victoria, Australia, and responsible for the care of the State Palaeontology Collection of Victoria. I investigate Victoria's fossil heritage in museum collections and field expeditions and have a strong interest in protecting and promoting palaeontological and geological heritage in Australia. My current focus is to expand the diversity and distribution of Pleistocene megafauna, by investigating fossil deposits in southeastern Australian caves and karst. I am experienced in the excavation, identification, preparation, and management of vertebrate fossils.
