I am currently studying how agroecosystem management affects soil carbon sequestration and stabilisation, with a focus on identifying practices that enhance long-term carbon storage. Before pursuing my PhD, I worked as a winemaker and viticulturist. I began my career after receiving a BSc in Geosciences with a concentration in wine and viticulture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. After moving to New Zealand, I obtained my Master’s degree from Lincoln University, where I researched how regenerative and conventional farming systems impact soil microbiology. Outside of research, I enjoy hiking and cycling with my husband and our energetic six-year-old Australian Shepherd.
