Welcome to my site!
I recently completed my PhD in plant ecology/biogeography with the Big Ecology Lab, part of the Ecology and Evolution Research Centre within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at UNSW Sydney, Australia.
My research interests include plant-animal interactions and how these change given spatial constraints, shifting environmental conditions, and land use change. My thesis focused on plant defence and herbivory on islands. I investigated whether long-held beliefs about plant defences and herbivory on islands are indeed fact- something that no one has really tested before.
