Alyce has a BAdSc (honours) in Ecology from the University of New South Wales, Sydney and a PhD from the University of Adelaide where she researched how to improve crop yield and reduce artificial inputs by exploiting the complementary and facilitative interactions between plant species. Alyce has worked as an ecologist at EcoResolve for almost two years where she has conducted targeted flora and fauna surveys and ecological assessments across a variety of landscapes, independently and as part of a larger team. Alyce's education and experience have provided her with extensive knowledge on the mechanisms underpinning ecological systems and NSW fauna and flora communities.
