She has extensive business and project management experience and led and secured funding (PEF) for a significant and innovative project, the Paludiculture Innovation Project (PIP) at HAU. Her role in the PIP is to ensure successful KE of research and best practice and to explore opportunities for enhancing biodiversity within a farmed landscape mosaic. Her research interests include behavioural adaptation (particularly of birds and mammals), the functionality of ecosystems in the context of climate resilience and One Health; and the relationship between farms transitioning to carbon Net Zero and biodiversity.
