I started out studing ecology because Zoology was full when I applied for it and I moved to Zoology when space opened up. After I got my bachelor's I applied for an Entomology honours because I really enjoyed the Entomology modules I took alongside my other 3rd year Zoology modules. I am currently starting my Master's and I have an interest in Integrated Pest Management.

My current project is looking at developing novel methods to monitor and control for citrus psyllids by using odour-based attractants to improve yellow sticky trap efficacy and helping to develop an A.I. driven, vision-based identification system with the intent to speed up the identification process so that control methods can be implemented in a more timely fashion.
