Background
Hi there, i'm from Tasmania, Australia, currently living in NSW. I have mostly been in academia studying medical science, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and most recently public health - publishing on the barriers to a sugary drinks tax in Australia. I have also worked as a wilderness guide, science educator, and most recently in the department of health in health promotion. 

Engagement in EA
In 2015 I attended a talk by Peter Singer and was introduced to EA ideas which mostly remained dormant until around 2023 when I tried to apply for some EA related work with little success. From 2025 I have been more seriously involved and have taken various courses including CEA's intro and in-depth programs. More specifically I am currently learning more about AI safety and I could contribute. I have recently finished the Center for AI Safety's, AI Safety, Ethics, and Society course including producing a <2000 word article exploring the tension between AI ethics and AI safety. I am currently enrolled in BlueDot's AGI Strategy Course. I attended EAGxVirtual 2024 and will be attended EAGxAustraliasia later this year.
