Sylvie Evans

Raised on Boonwurrung country in Victoria, Sylvie spent much of her childhood visiting the Otways and exploring the picturesque bush and coastlines of the region. She completed her Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Music at Monash University in 2021, and her Bachelor of Science (Honours) project in April 2024 at Monash University, in conjunction with Phillip Island Nature Parks.

Her honours thesis investigated the impacts of environmental conditions and diet on the growth and survival of little penguin chicks in Phillip Island, Victoria. She has also volunteered with several other projects, including bandicoot trapping, seal disentanglements, frog surveys, camera trap maintenance and drone footage review. 

Sylvie is excited to expand her experience in the conservation field, both practically, through field work, and by expanding her knowledge of different conservation practices, on beautiful Gadubanud country during her internship at CEC.
