I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sydney and Fulbright Fellow at The University of Wisconsin, Madison, where my research explores how animal behaviour and ecological interactions can be used to improve wildlife conservation and management. My work spans rewilding and species reintroductions, sensory ecology, predator–prey interactions, scavenging ecology and mass mortality events.

A major focus of my research is developing practical, behaviourally informed approaches to conservation, particularly using animal decision-making to improve reintroduction success and help native species persist beyond fenced reserves. I combine field experiments with large-scale ecological studies and collaborations with researchers, conservation organisations and land managers across Australia and internationally.

I enjoy developing new ideas, working collaboratively, getting into the field and communicating science beyond academia. Ultimately, I aim to produce research that advances ecological understanding while delivering practical outcomes for wildlife conservation.

Alongside my research, I serve as Director – Early Career Ecology with the Ecological Society of Australia, where I contribute to initiatives that support and connect early-career ecologists across Australia. This role reflects my broader interest in mentoring, professional development and strengthening the ecological research community.
