Felicity currently assists Dr Annabel Smith on a Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby connectivity project with Wildlife Queensland and a fire management experiment evaluating wildfire risk reduction and biodiversity improvement through botanical surveys and prescribed and ecological burns at The University of Queensland.

 

Felicity completed her PhD in 2025 in the School of the Environment at The University of Queensland supervised by Dr Annabel Smith, Dr April Reside, and Professor Patrick Moss. Felicity researched the influence of changing fire-regimes on fire-dependent plant-animal interactions. Her research focused on the Glossy black-cockatoo and their food trees with the aim of providing new data on optimal fire regimes for restoration of Glossy black-cockatoo food trees. Felicity completed her honours at The University of Queensland supervised by Dr Annabel Smith and Dr Megan Brady, investigating the use of under road drainage culverts by wildlife to cross roads.
