I am a PhD student at the Australian National University in Canberra, researching evidence-based priority rankings of alien plant pests and effective preparedness activities. I aim to combine and develop modelling frameworks to improve national pest risk analyses. My background is in environmental science and biosecurity, with a strong interest in ecophysiological niche modelling of invasive species.

I have co-authored a CLIMEX model on the thistle Cirsium arvense and its biocontrol agent Cassida rubiginosa in New Zealand, and a model on the weed Tithonia diversifolia to estimate its potential distribution under current and future climates.
