I explore ways of using mathematics to understand the natural world. I am a trained mathematician, science communicator and teacher. I am the Director of Conservation Aanalytics for Wildlife Investments and the Data Lead for Southern Ag consulting
Mathematical biology is reasonably novel and useful science, dedicated towards understanding our world. Promoting mathematical biology research to all who will listen captivates much of my time. I’ve spoken about the mathematics of nature to a range of audiences from indigenous tribes in the Guiana Shield to primary school children. Previously, I was a secondary mathematics teacher and I have applied my past experiences to teach undergraduate level mathematics and engineering.
I completed my PhD in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield. I followed this by teaching and lecturing for a year in the department whilst I ran an national mathematical biology outreach project for primary students. I was a committee member of the Movement Ecology Special Interest group at the British Ecological Society.
I conduct my Mississippi based research remotely Southern Illinois where I live with my husband Josh and my cat Kappa.
