I graduated with a BSc Honours degree in Zoology from the University of Aberdeen in 2008. For my Honours thesis, supervised by Professor Paul Racey and Dr. Nancy Priston, I conducted research on the remote island of Buton, off the coast of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. I was investigating human-wildlife conflict and the crop-raiding behaviours of the Buton macaque. I am currently doing an MSc in Evolution and Behaviour and i hope to further my studies with a PhD in Primatology.

My current research interests lie in human wildlife conflict with particular interest to crop-raiding primates.
Other areas of interest are animal behavioural processes, animal evolution and wildlife conservation.
