I am an ecologist and science communicator - formerly at University College London, University of Bristol, and the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology - now based in Canada as a postdoctoral research fellow at McGill University. 

My research is currently focused on combining acoustic and eDNA-based monitoring to survey freshwater ecosystems around the world. I am also interested in finding ways to work across disciplines to communicate science through the creative discrimination of soundscape data. As such, I have had the pleasure of working with artists, musicians, poets, and the media to highlight the value of freshwater biodiversity using sound recordings.  

Please do get in touch if you think our research overlaps and you would like to collaborate - I am always up for learning new things and making new friends! I have established an extensive library of high-quality underwater recordings from ponds and rivers for use in sound art installations, film, TV, and radio. My recordings have been featured in a wide range of programmes broadcast by notable media outlets, such as the BBC and National Geographic. Please contact me for more information if you are interested in using some of my recordings in your work, I'd love to hear from you.
