ABOUT
I am a conservation scientist interested in using science to inform effective wildlife conservation. My research focuses on: 1) improving biodiversity monitoring, 2) promoting human–wildlife coexistence, and 3) strengthening evidence-based conservation.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Kent’s Tropical Defaunation Hub, optimizing monitoring approaches and conservation prioritization for mammals in Sumatran tropical forests. Previously, I worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society–Indonesia Program and Sumatran Orangutan Society on species and habitat monitoring and evidence-based conservation management.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Sound Forest Lab, University of Wisconsin–Madison, assessing the biodiversity co-benefits of Nature–Climate Solutions that primarily focus on carbon storage. I am developing a practical data integration framework that combines camera traps and acoustic monitoring to better inform overall biodiversity.

In addition, I serve as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Applied Ecology.
