- PhD researcher, Adelaide University
I am an animal behaviour scientist investigating companion animal behaviour, training, welfare and human-animal interactions.
My PhD focuses on how dogs experience their veterinary visits and investigating strategies that may reduce stress during veterinary care. My Honours research explored the different types of equipment pet owners use on their dogs in Australia.
