Environmental Research Philosophy or Environmental Ethos?
I am interested in the consequences of modern land use on biodiversity and human well-being. Most of my research relates to the ecology and behaviour of wildlife, especially birds. Partnering with communities and sharing ideas with the public are ways that I aim to support collective conservation efforts for a better world.

Interdisciplinary Ideas
Building bridges across ‘artificial’ boundaries is a huge motivation for me. I enjoy working together with people from different fields and perspectives to tackle ecological problems. More importantly, finding ways to communicate across boundaries — disciplines, approaches, sectors, communities, and identities — is essential to bringing about real change. At TRU, I am embracing new learning opportunities about decolonization, reconciliation, and land-based learning. I am finding ways to team up with artists for creative approaches to conservation.
