Her broader interests include integrated marine management and understanding cumulative environmental impacts. She completed her BSc at the University of Canterbury, her MSc in Marine Science at the University of Otago and a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Sydney. Dr Gillanders has worked at NSW Fisheries (1996-1997) and held several ARC postdoctoral fellowships at the Universities of Sydney (1997-2000) and Adelaide (2001-2006; 2010-2014).
