Lily Eaton

Background & Qualifications

I grew up on the coast in Blackpool, England, and I completed my BSc in Biological Sciences in 2024 whilst at the University of Liverpool, with an exchange semester at the University of Western Australia. My research project was a mixture of field and lab work, investigating trematode infections in freshwater gastropods.

I have always had a keen interest in marine biology and conservation, especially due to being an avid scuba diver. During my time in Australia, I worked on several boats on the Great Barrier Reef and became a Divemaster. The enjoyment I got from working at sea pushed me to apply for this role and try something new in fisheries. In my spare time I like to dive, play netball, go hiking, read and spend time with the penguins.
