I am an animal advocate and interdisciplinary scientist focused on the convergence of science, ethics, and policy as they relate to the protection of wild animals and nature. My primary goal is to promote the equitable inclusion of wild animal wellbeing in scientific and policy discussions. I achieve this through a combination of advocacy and research which aim to present alternative, holistic approaches for safeguarding wild animals as well as their ecological and social communities. My work involves advocacy centered on foregrounding the importance of ethics and the science of animal wellbeing in public policy; empirical research to assess current policies and interventions designed to mitigate conflicts with wild animals; and qualitative analyses that critique existing frameworks that often neglect animals. I frequently engage in public outreach efforts, such as writing and giving talks, to advocate for the protection of wild animals.
