I’m a Zoologist, outdoor enthusiast and MSc student currently studying the effects of hunting on white-tailed deer movement and habitat use.

My undergraduate career, which provided the privilege of ecological field experiences around the globe, opened my eyes to the complexities of wildlife management and conservation and motivated me to delve into work that looks at how humans interact with and impact wildlife, as well as the need to incorporate social sciences into our work with wildlife.

Since my undergraduate degree I have been lucky to work with and learn from a wildlife biologists, conservation experts and other stakeholders from a diversity of backgrounds which has deeply broadened my perspectives on how we manage wildlife.

My research interests include: large mammal ecology, human-wildlife conflict, landscape ecology, anthropogenic impacts, carnivore ecology, habitat connectivity and how we can learn from Indigenous peoples to achieve greater sustainability and biodiversity.

I am also super interested in diversity in the outdoor recreation space and I am currently an ambassador for Osprey Packs and Oboz Footwear.
