My PhD in is environmental social science at James Cook University. Under the supervision of Georgina Gurney, Joshua Cinner, and Jacqueline Lau, my research focuses on fairness in marine conservation, especially how issues of governance and participatory processes can impact environmental management. I have worked collaboratively in Tanzania to study how destructive fishing impacts coastal fishing communities, and have ongoing research projects in southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique. Previously, I lived in Egypt, Tanzania, and Germany while studying social science and environmental science. I speak fluent German and conversational Kiswahili.
