I aim to engage diverse communities with inclusive stories of astronomy and space, and inspire moments of discovery in our everyday lives. I value bringing people together to achieve more than we can alone. I believe communication is fundamental to effective leadership, and support my teams by setting clear, attainable goals, offering honest feedback, and creating a work environment that is both fun and effective. Mi objetivo es involucrar a comunidades diversas con historias inclusivas de la astronomía y el espacio, e inspirar instancias de descubrimiento en nuestra vida cotidiana. Valoro la unión de las personas para lograr más de lo que lograríamos individualmente. Creo que la comunicación es fundamental para un liderazgo eficaz y apoyo a mi equipo estableciendo metas claras y alcanzables, ofreciendo comentarios honestos y creando un entorno de trabajo que sea inclusivo, divertido y eficaz. Co-host of "Cosmic Vertigo" - an astronomy podcast. Named one of Australia's "Top 5 Under 40" science researchers and communicators in 2015.
