About Your Host:

My name is Julie and I began my career/ calling about 30 years ago. My great grandfather was the equivalent to a park ranger managing the use of the land with knowledge of the seasons and wildlife. He inspired a passion that has been passed down through my family through the generations.

I studied abroad with a bachelor of science and travelled across the globe learning about ecosystems. I settled in Queensland as its diverse wildlife provided me with an endless opportunities to enjoy study and learn about wildlife.

Since being in Australia I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation earning my certificate 4 in veterinary nursing and on sites across Queensland tracking catching and relocating wildlife both as a Ecologist a fauna spotter and I now run my own business specializing in wild life solutions. My motto is we should all be accountable for our wildlife, to do this we need to know how we can manage our local animals without disturbing them.

It is my passion to pass on knowledge of our local neighbor’s so we can all love respect and protect them.
