Researcher of Conservation, University of Oxford I joined WildCRU in 2017 as the course coordinator/lead tutor of the Recanati-Kaplan Centre Post Graduate Diploma in International Wildlife Conservation Practice. I obtained a M.Sc. in Ecology and a separate M.Sc. in GIS both from Wageningen University. After that I worked extensively in conservation in the Caribbean and Africa, predominantly with the Zambian Carnivore Programme on the conservation and research of large carnivores in various ecosystems within Zambia. My Ph.D. focused on predator-predator relations and non-lethal effects from predators on prey in Liuwa Plains National Park, Zambia with professor Scott Creel at Montana State University. I have a passion for anything wildlife and sharing knowledge. My current research interests are focusing on predator-prey relationships and uncertainty in population estimates.
