Biography summary
Raylene has been an academic at Deakin since 2002. A passion for education and research has seen her develop an impressive teaching and research portfolio. She has a dedication to creating learning environments which promote the development of skills in her students which readily transfer into employment. Raylene is a champion for creating highly stimulating real world field based education platforms, enhancing opportunities for work integrated learning, and encouraging engagement in global learning experiences. Her teaching is backed up by her strong research background in wildlife conservation. A passion for raptors has seen her working for many years on powerful owls and how they can be better conserved in urbanizing landscapes.
Raylene is the course director for the Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) where she has worked to scaffold work integrated learning, field based learning and global engagement across the degree program. She is also part of the faculty working group for work integrated learning, and is part of the faculty team driving the increase in global mobility of our students.
Research interests
Raylene is an active researcher with a focus on how disturbance processes such as urbanization, fire and introduced species impact upon our unique ecosystems and wildlife. Much of her research has seen her working on the outskirts of Melbourne tracking down the elusive powerful owl, one of the few native top-order predators still residing on the edge of our cities. Using spatial modelling and GPS tracking technologies with powerful owls has changed our perceptions of how predators can respond to urbanisation processes. Raylene is also an important part of our long-term research program in the Grampians National Park investigating the role of fire and climate change on small mammals. She has been part of this research since it started in 2008 and was integral in the team winning the Nancy Millis Award in 2016 for research that changes the way Parks Victoria manages its park assets.
Raylene has a dynamic research team of honours students and postgraduates working on urban processes, raptor ecology, invasive species and conservation ecology.
Teaching interests
Raylene has been a major driver of creating highly experiential learning environments in the field, the workplace and around the world. Encouraging the integration of work integrated learning opportunities across the Bachelor Environmental Science suite of degrees, has seen her become a leader in preparing students for the transition out of university and into employment. Creating a dynamic and exciting learning environment has been fundamental in Raylene driving the delivery of our highly immersive field studies programs and global environmental placements. A dynamic educator, Raylene has been recognised both at the University and nationally.
