Biography

As an ecologist, my primary interest lies in conducting research that guides wildlife management. My goal is to provide scientific insights that help land managers optimize biodiversity and ecosystem services, while achieving a balance between human needs and environmental health. Furthermore, I am particularly fascinated by animal behavior and its adaptability in a world rapidly transformed by human development. I am also keen on exploring innovative approaches to leveraging behavior in ways that enhance ecosystem services and environmental well-being.
