Profile Articles Activity

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, studying restoration protocols for riparian margins in oil palm plantations. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked as an environmental scientist/ ecologist with several New Zealand scientific agencies, primarily working in conservation. I partook in several projects working in New Zealand's reserves, including the Waitakere ranges in Auckland and Egmont national park in New Plymouth. I also have an MSc in Biosecurity and Conservation from the University of Auckland where I studied the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) being a possible vector for plant pathogens, specifically Myrtle rust. Alongside this, I worked at Plant and Food research as a research associate. Ultimately, I aspire to have a dynamic career as an environmental advisor, where I am able to contribute to the further protection and conservation of the environment.
