Heather Denham (Lab coordinator, 2018-2022)

I completed my Bachelor of Science (Marine Science and Zoology) at the University of Western Australia in 2012. I then trained to become a PADI dive instructor and spent two seasons working as a research assistant studying subtidal ecology with the Seben’s Laboratory in America. I returned to Australia to work as a Dive instructor and deckhand on the Great Barrier Reef for a year. Following that I completed my cadetship on board STS Leeuwin II.
