Kia ora!
I am a conservation biologist with a passion for amphibian ecology and conservation. I am particularly interested in applied conservation and the impact of external stressors on amphibians.
Through my research and communications, I hope to show how magnificent amphibians are, their significance in functioning ecosystems, and the importance of citizen science.
Having moved over from Aotearoa, New Zealand, I am looking forward to the diversity in herpetofauna and the ability to listen to frogs calling.
