I am fascinated by migration and dispersal in ecology, and human-wildlife interactions.
After an apprenticeship and 10-year career as an aircraft mechanic in the Royal Air Force, I embarked on a career change. I studied Natural Sciences with the Open University and then completed an undergraduate biology degree and PhD at the University of St Andrews.
My PhD involved studying the migration and dispersal ecology of the Cyprus wheatear.
I am currently working as a member of the COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative. This is a global collaboration using bio-logging data to understand if and how animals responded to changes in human mobility during lockdowns.
