Research:
I completed my PhD in Entomology at Rhodes University in 2016. I have since worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Centre for Biological Control at Rhodes University. My main research focus has been exploring biological control of invasive alien grasses. I have collaborated with the Afromontane Research Unit on a number of projects, including research on invasive Nassella grasses and plant invasions on South Africa’s mountains. I have contributed more than 27 publications in this field.
