Kymberly Crockett
Research Assistant
Kymberly joined the EcoDNA group at the University of Canberra in 2021 after completing Honours focused on environmental DNA.
Throughout her Honours year, Kymberly developed sampling and molecular techniques for the detection of elusive endangered and invasive fish species from eDNA water samples. These skills have since been developed through conducting lab work using single-species and metabarcoding molecular approaches to detect the presence or absence of native and invasive species from eDNA samples for various research, conservation, biosecurity, and surveillance projects, such as the Hitchhiker Pest Project.
Outside of her role in the EcoDNA, Kymberly enjoys going on walks with her dog, cooking/baking, reading, and painting.
