I am a DPhil Candidate in Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford, supervised by Dr Constance McDermott and Dr Jasper Montana. My DPhil research asks how Scottish community landowners manage land for diverse environmental values, including biodiversity recovery, and how these approaches intersect with wider UK policy. This work is affiliated with the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery and the Land, Society and Governance (LSG) Programme at the University of Oxford, and the University of Highlands and Islands’ Community Landownership Academic Network.

Beyond my DPhil, I have worked as a research intern with The Nature Conservancy, exploring the knowledge cultures shaping the organisation's research and monitoring practices with the aim of fostering more inclusive modes of conservation. 

I completed an MA at the University of British Columbia’s Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, supervised by Dr Kai Chan. In the CHANS Lab, I conducted and contributed to research on transformative change toward sustainability. During this time, I served as the Climate Wellbeing Lead at the UBC Climate Hub, working with Meghan Wise to co-develop climate wellbeing resources and deliver workshops connecting political and economic systems to climate wellbeing. I also worked with the Youth Climate Ambassador Project to empower undergraduate and secondary students to participate in and lead climate action.
