I have pleasure teaching at Albany Campus UWA for over a decade, working in areas such as English, Creative Writing, and Environmental History. My work in the School of Indigenous Studies deeply informs my thinking and helps me impart knowledge to students. I have published several books, including 'Salt Story,' a memoir on the social history of commercial fishing families in the Great Southern, and 'Sound,' a historical novel about the little-known sealing community in the Bass Strait and King George Sound. My PhD research explores pre-colonial contact experiences of Southern Ocean communities through historical fiction narratives. I regularly engage in the slow, reparative work of learning about Country and support fire crew during the summer fire season, further teaching me about ecology and fire behavior. My research interests include the intersections of history and fiction, environmental fiction, creative nonfiction, and Australian nature writing, focusing on Southern Ocean sea country narratives.
