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. I am currently carrying out a fellowship at Imperial, in which I am exploring Anthropocene landscape permeability for species key to human health and well-being (in particular, species impacting food system sustainability and zoonotic disease risk).

Before my current role, I worked 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!
