About me
I completed my doctorate from 2016-2019 at The University of Auckland, New Zealand working in the Auckland Freshwater Ecosystems Lab led by Dr. Kevin Simon. For my thesis, I examined the influence of thermal history on individual traits and ecological structure and function using geothermal populations mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) spanning a wide thermal gradient as a model system.
I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow from 2019-2022 with Dr. Celia Symons At The University of California, Irvine. I utilised altitudinal temperature gradients in the Sierra Nevada mountain range to understand how organismal traits vary when exposed to different temperatures.
I am currently a Research Associate at Imperial College London working with Will Pearse and Guy Woodward. I am creating a database of biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships. This research will be used to determine the importance of preserving biodiversity to maintain an array of ecosystem functions.
In January 2024, I will joining the Department of Geography at King’s College London as Lecturer in Physical Geography and Environmental Science.
