Thanks for visiting!

​

I am a Swiss-British primatologist specialising in ape and community conservation. I am currently finishing a part-time doctorate degree at University College London with additional supervisors from ZSL's Institute of Zoology, Sun Yat-Sen University in China, Oxford Brookes University, and the IUCN (Primate Specialist Group's Section on Small Apes).

​

I have almost 20 years' experience working in the field of primate behaviour and conservation with a focus on human-primate coexistence. Throughout this period I have held various field-based research, management and teaching positions for a number of respectable organisations. The majority of my research has focused on Asian primates.

 

Alongside my doctorate degree, I am a freelance conservation consultant, qualified lecturer (Fellow of the Higher Education Academy), and a full-time mother. 

 

I regularly contribute to outreach events. In my spare time I climb mountains and write children's books to support conservation efforts and raise important awareness about threatened species.
