Postdoctoral Fellow in Zoology, University of Oxford

In 2017, I completed a PhD in Conservation Biology at the University of Central Florida studying the effects of roads on wildlife. I am currently a postdoctoral knowledge exchange fellow at the University of Oxford, supported by NERC. I am working with the International Union for Conservation of Nature to develop the IUCN Green List of Species: a set of new metrics to evaluate threatened species recovery, as well as the difference that conservation actions make in achieving recovery.
