Welcome

I am a marine ecologist, curious about what links and drives marine animals and ecosystems.  

Many sharks and fish are under threat from human impacts and climate change. Understanding their behaviour can make us better stewards of their survival. My research explores different techniques for describing their behaviour because this enables us to gather new and different kinds of information but also limits how invasive and dangerous our work is for these animals which we are trying to study and protect.

I am a Lecturer in Marine Conservation at the University of Hull, and Council Member & Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the Fisheries Society of the British Isles (FSBI). I have a PhD in Marine Ecology from the University of Exeter in partnership with the Bimini Biological Field Station Foundation.
