I am a 20-year-old wildlife biologist and photographer from the UK, currently in my final year of a BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences (Zoology) at the University of Edinburgh. I have extensive field experience across Africa, including elephant collaring in Kenya, rhino and cheetah collaring in South Africa, and lion research in Uganda.

My recent role as a research assistant with the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project (Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda) led to co-authorship on a paper (under review in Current Biology) on multi-species predation of Egyptian fruit bats.

I hold an NQF2 Nature Site Guide Qualification and CyberTracker Track & Sign Level 2, and I am also an experienced wildlife and sports photographer, with freelance work for Volcanoes Safaris, PlayerLayer, The University of Edinburgh, and IGNITE. Alongside research and conservation, I have gained tourism and guiding experience in Botswana as a mountain bike safari guide.
