Overview
I was a undergraduate and a taught masters student at the Univeristy of Exeter, and am now a PhD student. I currently work at University of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute under the supervision of Dr. Richard Sherley, Professor Stu Bearhop, and Dr. Alice Trevail at the University of Exeter, as well as partners in Bangor University (Professor Simon Neill), the Zoological Society of London (Dr. Catharine Horswill), and the Crown Estate (Sion Roberts). My research focuses on interactions between kittiwakes throughout the North Atlantic and offshore wind, with emphasis on animal movement data, ecological niche modelling, ocean and climate projection modelling, impact assessment analysis, and marine spatial planning.
