I am a behavioural ecologist with a background in marine science and a particular interest in colour polymorphism, camouflage, and predator-prey interactions. My research explores how visual perception shapes animal behaviour and colouration, with a strong focus on sensory ecology and quantitative analysis using hyperspectral reflectance data.

I am nearing completion of a PhD at the University of Plymouth, investigating how artificial light at night (ALAN) affects camouflage and phenology in marine invertebrates and algae. Prior to this, I completed an MRes in Marine Biology at Plymouth and hold both a BA in Ancient and Modern History and BSc in Marine Biology.

I am currently working as a Research Assistant for MarLIN, contributing to habitat sensitivity assessments in UK marine systems. My broader research goals centre on understanding the interface between sensory biology, behaviour, and ecological change.
