RESEARCH
My research journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to the wellbeing of the Earth and all species that share this planet. From working with chimpanzees in a zoo setting to pursuing field based studies of primate ecology and behavior, my work is guided by questions about how environmental change influences health, relationships, and resilience across ecosystems. Through long term research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and thoughtful communication, I aim to contribute knowledge that supports conservation, care, and more reciprocal relationships between humans and the living world.
