Research Interests
I am passionate about socio-ecological research relating to wildlife conservation and finding solutions to human-wildlife conflict, particularly involving predators.
With an undergraduate background in both mammalian ecology and perspectives research, I am interested in working to develop just community-engagement practices for wildlife management in rural communities and science-based strategies that balance biodiversity preservation with human needs. I hope to contribute to projects that will ultimately foster coexistence and make a tangible difference for wildlife and the communities that share their habitats.
