I am a PhD candidate at the Durrell Institute of Conseration Ecology (DICE), hosted at the University of Kent. My research focuses on how land use change influences human well-being in central Indonesia.
My background is in tropical forestry and development. Other research interests include the application of food systems thinking in forestry issues, biodiversity and food security at the forest-water interface, and the management of multifunctional landscapes across the tropics.
I am a keen advocate of strengthening international and inclusive collaborations in forest and conservation research.
I have a deep love for baking (please share with me your recipes!), basketball and peanut butter 🤩
I also run the conservation workshop and networking platform '& another thing'. See details of our free upcoming workshops and events here - https://andanotherplace.wixsite.com/home
Affordable, flexible and sociable online learning in technical skills for conservation and open education. Support for virtual and hybrid conferences and events
My interest lies in the conservation management of protected species, especially marine turtles and promoting community’s perception and engagement towards conservation. My current focus is on LAMAVE's marine turtle stranding and response efforts and nest monitoring.
