I am a PhD candidate broadly focused on the cohabitation of wildlife and people in urban areas. I am interested in all things management and conservation, and love discovering new things about the plants and animals in our backyards.
I previously completed my honours at Âé¶¹Éçmadou studying the resource requirements of native and wild herbivores in the Australian rangelands.

±Ê°ù´ÇÂá±ð³¦³Ù:ÌýHuman-wildlife cohabitation in the urban environment

Supervised by: Lisa Schwanz, Neil Jordan, Catherine Herbert

Project Description: Urban environments have been shaped by decades of ecological disruption, leading to highly modified ecosystems. One example of this is the loss of hollow bearing trees, a vital resource for over 300 native australian animals. Among other things this project aims to determine the abundance, distribution, and use of tree hollows in Sydney.
