I am a Research Assistant with interests in ecology, biodiversity conservation, and environmental policy. My work combines spatial analysis and quantitative methods to inform conservation and environmental decision-making. I aim to generate evidence that supports equitable, and ecologically meaningful conservation outcomes.
