I completed my BSc Honours degree in Zoology in 2022 and then an MRes in Ecology and Environmental Biology in 2023, both at the University of Glasgow. For my honours project I examined the impact of an urban gradient on the variation in biodiversity of the soil macroinvertebrate community. For my masters, I focused on monitoring methods for deer population management. In my masters research project, I compared method efficiencies, considering whether the outputs relative to the inputs necessary for method application were justified. The experience and outputs of the project allowed me to write a deer management plan for my study site, where I provided information on how to sustainably manage the resident deer populations.
Current Research
I am interested in exploring the functional ecology of macroinvertebrates in regenerative agricultural systems and how those might impact upon ecosystem services.
