I am a researcher experienced in examining the human dimensions of wildlife conservation, with a particular interest in human-wildlife interactions in urban environments. My work explores the intersection of conservation, communication, and human-wildlife conflict. Having contributed to projects in the U.S. and East Africa, including Kenya and Tanzania, I bring a wealth of experience researching diverse populations and topics. I have collaborated with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on public outreach initiatives and have been published in Human Dimensions of Wildlife and other peer-reviewed journals. Passionate about fostering coexistence between people and wildlife, I am dedicated to furthering research on human-wildlife interactions and enhancing public understanding of conservation issues.
