My pronouns are she/her
I am a conservation biologist with a background spanning environmental management, ecology, and evolution. After completing a MSc at AgroParisTech focused on environmental management and business performance, I pursued a second MSc at the University of Lyon, where I investigated links between stress, sex hormone levels, and parasite load in Asian elephants. I later completed my PhD jointly with the University of Lyon and Nelson Mandela University, examining how ecological and management factors shape the biology and behaviour of wild African elephants across different conservation systems. This research contributed to the development of a multidimensional welfare indicator for South African elephant populations.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cumbria within Robert Montgomery's group, where I coordinate the Uganda research programme in Murchison Falls National Park. My work aims to experimentally quantify the non-consumptive effects of human predation and assess how these pressures influence spatial food web dynamics in a multi-predator–prey system. Through this research, I seek to advance our understanding of human–wildlife interactions and support evidence-based conservation strategies that promote both biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
