About
After completing my Master’s degree in marine biology, I realised that there was limited funding available to accelerate scientific research and critical conservation actions. I established the RockHopper fund NGO and began my journey as an entrepreneurial shark scientist. I combine my scientific, water and film skills on Blue Chip projects from Apple TV, Netflix, BBC’s Planet Earth III and Netflix Oceans. I use simple, thought-provoking stories in virtual and in-person Experiences to enable science and tourism to generate funds that spearhead research, outreach and conservation job creation in support of smart marine reserves. I believe that storytelling can change the way we connect with and understand nature. The ocean has a treasure chest of stories just waiting to be shared. Spending time with the creatures who call the ocean home enables us to realise - there's no gap between our world and theirs. I'm a scientist who shares my learnings with people through storytelling, one RockHopper experience at a time.

Meet a Real Life Shark Scientist
With a healthy dose of environmental optimism, this wildly unique 1-Hour Online Experience is a fun break from your regular day-to-day. I'll share my craziest stories and unreleased footage as we dive into the watery world of sharks and healthy oceans. We'll venture behind the science with our team of scientists, blue chip filmmakers (BBC, Netflix, Discovery, AppleTV), and change makers. With all new footage and findings, you now have a chance to name a tagged shark! Start thinking of a clever name you might want to call your new finned friend. One lucky person will get to name their very own shark, and it'll be a story to tell for years to come (10 years to be precise). So, invite your family, friends, or team and join me to connect with nature in a new and engaging way that's personalized to you. This experience will leave you feeling connected, refreshed, and excited to have supported our mission to create more Smart Reserves.
