I am a recent PhD graduate from Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Architecture. Using my interdisciplinary background in biology (BSc) and architecture (MArch), my PhD research connects both fields and investigates how architecture can provide habitat for native species in cities to increase urban biodiversity and enhance climate change resilience. I am particularly interested in how building-integrated vegetation, such as green roofs and green walls, can provide habitat for native species, improve building performance, and contribute to more robust and resilient urban green infrastructure networks.
