I am a conservation scientist at Panthera, focusing on neotropical felids. Living in Belize from 2003 to 2019, I conducted large-scale field research and directed Panthera’s Belize Jaguar Program. I hold a BA Hon in Biological Sciences (1998) and an MSc in Integrated Biosciences (2000) from Oxford University; and a PhD on jaguar ecology in human landscapes (2008) from the University of Southampton.My research interests include carnivore ecology, bush-meat harvest, livestock predation, and the use of camera traps to study elusive, wide-ranging species. Before moving to Belize, I worked in England studying mammal ecology, behaviour and welfare.
