Research Interests

I am passionate about socio-ecological research relating to wildlife conservation and coexistence in rural landscapes.

With an undergraduate background in both ecology and perspectives research, I am interested in working to identify & develop: 1) community-engagement and collaboration practices for wildlife management and 2) science-based management 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 landscapes.
