about
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, investigating carnivore behavioural ecology and human-wildlife dynamics through integrated socio-ecological frameworks.
​
Research interests include species habitat use, spatiotemporal human–wildlife dynamics, applied conservation science, remote camera trap and participatory methodologies that prioritize equitable partnerships and community-defined agendas to advance locally relevant coexistence outcomes.
​
My current work integrates wildlife movement modelling with participatory approaches to advance understandings of human–wildlife coexistence mechanisms. Through bridging diverse knowledge systems, drawing on scientific and local experiential insights, I evaluate coexistence in relation to environmental stimuli, with particular interest in shared biocultural landscapes.
Education & Past Experiences:
MSc (Wildlife Ecology), UVic
BSc (Biology), UVic
​
Prior to my doctorate, I spent a decade in ecological research, restoration and conservation programmes in Canada and East Africa. As a student, collaborator, and educator, I advanced a passion for teaching and interdisciplinary research that empowers community-driven solutions to resolve complex conservation challenges.
