Post-Doctoral Fellow, Rhodes University
I was recently awarded a PhD from Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, for thesis investigating the effect of urbanisation on the foraging ecology and ecotoxicology of the caracal (a species of wild cat) on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa.
