Leap into Nature was created in 2014 by owner/operator Christina, a full time mum and zoologist who has a passion for connecting people with nature. She created Leap into Nature to increase the ecological literacy of young people and develop engaging learning experiences in nature.
Christina completed a Bachelor of Conservation Ecology at Deakin University with an Honours research year in 2004, studying frogs in urban habitats. She worked as a consultant zoologist in Melbourne for Ecology Australia, for over 8 years. In this role she provided expert advice on the management and conservation of threatened fauna species and their habitats, primarily in urban and semi-rural environments.
Christina has nearly completed her Master of Environment at The University of Melbourne, specialising in science communication, nature connection, environmental education and social change.
Christina is taking a break from Leap into Nature while she is working for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, in science communication and helping all Victorians to Value Nature.
