I’m a quantitative ecologist broadly interested in the conservation of biodiversity and wildlife on working lands, with forestry landscapes as a prime example. I’m currently a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University. I completed my PhD in Conservation Biology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa (iCWild), supervised by Prof. Justin O’Riain. My PhD was also a collaboration with the SHOALgroup at Swansea University, UK, and was co-supervised by A/Prof. Andrew King and A/Prof. Ines Fürtbauer. My research focused on bark-stripping behaviour in wild chacma baboons living in commercial forestry systems, using GPS and accelerometer biologgers to understand their movement patterns and damage-causing behaviours.
