About
I am a seabird scientist undertaking a PhD on the habitat preferences of Southern Ocean albatrosses and petrels. Previously I worked for a global conservation NGO, where my research focussed on analysing tracking data to understand which areas of the ocean seabirds frequent, and integrating this with other data such as threats to species to inform our seabird conservation work.
After completing my undergraduate degree in Zoology, I pursued a Masters' in Systems Biology to develop my mathematical and computational skills. At BirdLife I contributed to various conservation research projects and discovered a passion for using new tools and technologies to tackle problems in efficient and reproducible ways.
