I am a conservation biologist with a particular interest in studying how biodiversity is responding to local and global drivers of change, and how this impacts nature’s contributions to people. 

My recent research has been carried out as part of the Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems project. Along with co-authors from University College London and the University of KwaZulu-Natal, I investigated the impacts of land-use and climate change on biodiversity within South African agricultural areas, and the resilience of nature's benefits to people under such changes. 

Outside of work I am a keen climber (treasurer of the North London Mountaineering Club), walker and baker, so can often be found trying to make my way up a rockface or making a mess in the kitchen!
