I am a PhD student with interests in conservation biology, landscape ecology and human-wildlife conflict. My research aims to understand how wild mammal species respond to land-use change across southern Africa, and how these responses affect ecosystems, landscapes, and human populations. 

Before starting my PhD, I worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where I supported conservation and research projects in Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Sierra Leone. I completed my MSc in Conservation at University College London, conducting fieldwork in the Congo Basin, and earned my bachelor’s in Geography at the University of Exeter, which included six months of fieldwork in Phinda Game Reserve, South Africa.
