As a researcher and storyteller, I find creative ways to approach complicated problems, with a focus on marine conservation. I explore different ecosystems (including rocky and human-made reefs) and the perspectives of people who interact with them. I believe in bringing together a variety of viewpoints to solve shared challenges on a changing planet, and I want to emphasise how engaging and relevant nature can be. To this end, I have co-created improvised comedy plays, journalistic articles, blog posts, award-winning stop motion animation films, a podcast, and research in the form of reports and academic papers.
