About Me
I am a marine ecologist specializing in conservation planning and climate change. My research focuses on understanding the global and regional-scale impact of climate change on species’ distribution shifts in the ocean. I have utilised this information to inform conservation efforts and promote sustainable practices.
As a Research Scientist at Conservation International, I lead an international project exploring the impact of ocean fronts on marine biodiversity in the Mozambique Channel. My work involves employing innovative analytical methods to analyze complex datasets, contributing to effective conservation strategies.
I am also an enthusiastic adherent of reproducible analysis and coding, especially with ! Please see my GitHub for more info.
