Biography
Having originally trained in biological and ecological sciences, I returned to academia in 2017 to study Conservation Science at Imperial College London. In 2019, I started a PhD with the Conservation Science Group looking at the measurement of costs and cost-effectiveness in conservation. Between these periods of study, I have worked as an environmental consultant - most recently as a researcher/consultant for The Biodiversity Consultancy based in Cambridge, UK.
Research
My research aims to help enhance the cost-effectiveness of wildlife conservation practice. I am interested in how conservation outcomes and costs are measured, and how evaluation and decision-making tools from other sectors can be applied to identify those solutions that represent the best use of limited conservation funds.
I maintain a keen interest in the role the private sector can play in nature conservation, and the different strategies and techniques that can be employed to monitor and address biodiversity impacts.
