    I am an Animal Behaviour and Welfare scientist with a particular interest in how findings can be practically utilised by stakeholders and therefore am interested in the areas of applied research, participatory engagement, and science communication. I  graduated from the University of Bristol in 2018 with a first-class BSc in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and then completed my PhD at the University of Reading titled “The behaviour and welfare of goat kids during the milk feeding stage and weaning transition”. In 2022 I won the RSPCA/BSAS Prize for Research with Animal Impact by Scientists in Early Career (PRAISE). Currently I am deputy chair of  the Early Careers Committee of the British Society of Animal Science, and 'Impact and Outreach officer' for the Early Careers group of the Animal Welfare Research Network.

    I am currently Module leader of:

    • Advances in Farm Animal Health, Welfare, and Behaviour (A6003C17)
