Extension Officer for NT
lauren.thornton@frdc.com.au
The Northern Territory has unique people, culture, and environments, which makes it important to have an NT Extension Officer on the ground to address research priorities and concerns.
I aim to provide suitable and easy to understand information and support to stakeholders. I have experience with cross cultural community engagement and a passion for capability and capacity-building across all fisheries sectors, particularly women and Indigenous enterprises.
