She has worked at Geoscience Australia in Canberra since 2002. Her research focusses on understanding marine processes, such as those revealed by seafloor bathymetry, sediment samples and imagery, to investigate how the physical characteristics of the environment influence the distribution and diversity of seafloor ecosystems. She has worked on the continental shelf and within slope canyons from the northern tropics of Australia, through the temperate regions and south to the pole. She has sailed on 10 research voyages, with 3 to the Antarctic margin.
