Overview
My research aims to understand how the environment can shape animal movement. In particular, I am interested in where animals forage given the complex and diverse range of foraging opportunities within their surrounding environment. I'm a postdoctoral researcher on the Bertarelli Programme in Marine Science Seabird project in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London. This project aims to understand the causes and consequences of seabird connectivity in the Western Indian Ocean.
