I am a coastal fisheries scientist focusing on recreational fisheries management and coastal fish movement ecology. I have PhD from Rhodes University (graduated in 2019), during which I investigated the coastal movement of a large iconic game fish species in Southern Angola. Following my Ph.D. I took up a position as a junior researcher at the CCMAR in Faro Portugal, where I investigated the movement behavior of a large coastal fish species using state-of-the-art electronic tagging techniques. I am currently holding a joint research position at Rhodes and the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB)
