Aaron is an Environmental Project Officer with over seven years’ experience in aquatic ecology, biodiversity planning, landscape-scale ecological research and multi stakeholder project delivery across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
His work spans terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal systems, with a strong focus on waterway restoration, designing evidence based programs and improving ecological management to mitigate anthropogenic impacts on the environment.
Aaron’s technical foundation is built on extensive field ecology, fish community monitoring, habitat classification, and ecological management in natural and agricultural systems. His Honours research compared non destructive fish sampling methods including RUV/BRUV surveys, in the upper Clarence catchment, providing early expertise in monitoring design, species detection, and habitat specific sampling performance.
Aaron has worked across state and local government with CSIRO, the Department of Natural Resources & Mines, and City of Moreton Bay—where he delivered fish passage and biodiversity planning programs, ecological monitoring, project management frameworks, and scientific research.
Aaron started his career as an aquatic ecologist with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines undertaking AusRIVAS work across QLD and northern NSW catchments in the Murray-Darling basin, contributing to management plans and identification and microscopic photography of stygofauna from groundwater samples.
