Since graduating with a Ph.D. in 2016, I've published two refereed journal articles and one monograph with Cornell University Press.
My research, which was recently published as a monograph by Cornell University Press in April of 2022, is titled The Nature of the Religious Right: The Struggle Between Conservative Evangelicals and the Environmental Movement. This book is an intellectual history that offers the first historical account delineating how politically motivated white conservative evangelicals who make up the religious right ultimately learned to oppose environmental protection efforts including climate change over the last fifty years.

Adjunct Professor of Environmental Communications, Tulane University
My work intersects with Cultural Studies, Science Studies, and Environmental History. My dissertation looks at the effect of extractive thinking and power on coastal louisiana. I investigate how certain practices are naturalized through technical discourses upheld by the state’s political economy. I have developed a genealogy of extraction that explicates the role of science and technology in naturalizing industrial practices that have exhausted the region’s natural resources, while creating conditions for intervention that rationalizes those practices. I am a graduate of Tulane University and the University of California Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. I also hold a master’s in creative writing from Eastern Michigan University, where I began transitioning from journalism to teaching.

I am interested in a range of conservation and animal welfare issues. Through my research, I seek to obtain the data needed to inform practical solutions that reduce the suffering of wild animals and protect wild populations.
Since 2004, I have led biodiversity surveys throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America that have generated baseline ecological data for a range of different taxa in previously unexplored areas.
These field surveys led to the discovery of six new species and also secured the first wild photographic evidence of the endangered Visayan spotted deer and Warty pig via remote camera trapping in the Philippines.
More recently, I have also been involved in addressing a number of complex global issues that threaten wild animal welfare and survival including human-wildlife conflict and wildlife trade.
My efforts have helped to improve the welfare and conservation status of a wide range of different species including Sloth bears in India, Civets in Indonesia, Brown bears in Turkey, and Green turtles in the Caribbean.
A professional photographer, images relating to my research have also featured in a number of high profile media publications such as the Guardian, Der Spiegal, Le Monde and National Geographic.
During my career I am fortunate to have lived, worked and travelled in over 40 countries across 6 continents and have published over 30 peer-reviewed scientific articles. I first joined WildCRU as visiting academic in 2014.
My main research areas of interests are: biodiversity surveys, human-wildlife conflict and wildlife trade.

Professor of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, University of Michigan
My laboratory is interested in novel mechanisms of enzyme catalysis, enzyme regulation and designing self-assembling proteins. Our current research projects focus on enzymes that catalyze carboxylation and decarboxylation of aromatic molecules, which may provide routes to green commodity chemicals. We are also studying the regulation and interactions of enzymes involved in the cellular antiviral response. Lastly, we are developing strategies for the assembly of proteins into nano-cages. Our research is inherently inter-disciplinary and draws on a synergistic combination of bio-organic, bio-inorganic and bio-physical chemistry.

Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO
My PhD used Landsat time series data to map the Lower Balonne Floodplain in SE Qld. I linked the distribution of inundation with the growth dynamics of vegetation communities, and predicted outcomes from changes in landscape composition on the dynamics of the ecosystem as a whole. My work at CSIRO has focussed on the use of airborne, hi-res, hyperspectral and SAR satellite imagery to map features including the distribution and severity of diseases in plantation forests, forest fertiliser requirements and flood modelling for the MDBA. Recently I led a project to write methods for UN Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 (the proportion of land that is degraded over total land area) on behalf of the UNCCD. These methods are provided as guidance to all countries reporting on this SDG. I co-Chair the GEO Land Degradation Neutrality Initiative, which uses the methods from SDG 15.3.1 to measure degradation. More recently my work has focused on identifying and supporting the Earth observation needs of developing countries including Vietnam and the Pacific islands.
