I am
a broadly trained ecologist and environmental anthropologist. I am interested in a) studying critical plant-animal interactions in tropical forests and the impact of anthropogenic pressures on such interactions, and b) the dissemination of scientific research results to non-technical audiences to encourage greater participation in advocating for conservation of biodiversity and vulnerable natural spaces.
