HomeI am a Master’s student in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Canterbury and a member of the Tylianakis Lab Group. My research uses Bayesian modelling to understand how agricultural pests and their natural enemies move across crop boundaries, and how these patterns change over space and time.
I’m interested in how landscapes can be configured for sustainable pest management. My work is shaped by a broader curiosity about how ecological processes intersect with agricultural practices, which developed growing up on the rural Canterbury Plains. After completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Canterbury, I returned for postgraduate study to deepen my understanding of ecology, data analysis, and modelling.
Beyond research, I fill my time tramping and exploring the high country and Southern Alps.
