I’m an aspiring structural and computational biologist working at the interface between fungal pathogens and plant biology. I’m trying to further our collective understanding of how plants fight disease to better protect food security in Australia and around the world. I hope to apply protein design and other computational techniques in the agricultural sector. My background in the tech sector, biology, and law underpins my understanding of the need for interdisciplinary, human-focused approaches. Through my work, I want to focus on fostering an inclusive and diverse tech sector in Australia. I am also deeply passionate about protecting our natural world, and in my spare time, that’s where you’ll find me.
