The problems I have worked on in animal science have direct implications for genetic selection, food quality (e.g. cow milk), and animal health.

I have an interest in conservation induced livelihood change, forest governance, conservation partnerships and Indigenous-led conservation governance. My work seeks to improve the social and ecological outcomes of conservation governance.
