I am an ecologist with a broad interest in the conservation, restoration and management of natural ecosystems.
Much of my work involves using ecological theories to approach applied problems in ecology with an aim to generate knowledge that can be directly applied to policy and practice.
I also have a deep interest towards including societal and cultural values in conserving and restoring ecosystems. My research spans a variety of ecosystems, though I tend to focus on themes which include species traits, functional diversity, community assembly, global change, disturbance biology, fire ecology, and plant soil interactions.
With a focus on sustainability, I work to ensure that ecological conservation and restoration efforts are guided by sound science and holistic principles, fostering a harmonious relationship between nature and society.
