I am conservation scientist focusing on how we can better navigate trade-offs between biodiversity, climate and economic objectives in temperate and tropical forests. I focus particularly on the consequences of forest degradation from local to global scales – and work with partners and collaborators around the world to ensure my work can help improve how forests and the timber trade are managed better into the future.

My background is as a tropical forest ecologist. I use a variety of methods, from place-based fieldwork to landscape-scale modelling in order to understand the consequences of alternative approaches to wood production. I am also increasingly interested in revealing the biodiversity and climate footprints embedded within international woodflows, to underpin an equitable and less environmentally damaging distribution of global harvest burdens.

I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2024 and was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Oregon State University between 2024-2026, as part of the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society.  Here is a list of my current research projects, spanning Borneo, Ethiopia, Oregon and Brazil; from logging concessions to international wood trade dynamics.
