Biography

I have a particular interest in carnivore ecology and conservation as well as environmental education. My passion for effective evidence-based applied ecology and education drives me to pursue both disciplines in innovative ways, in turn contributing to raising awareness about conservation issues and nurturing our future leaders in conservation.

Teaching Summary

I am interested in the use of innovative teaching tools such as eLearning and games to make learning enjoyable and effective.

Research Summary

My current research is focused on the habitat use of large carnivores (e.g. ocelots, clouded leopards) and the effects of innovative education (e.g. games) on people's attitudes and behaviour towards… read more
