Hi there, I'm a biologist and environmental communicator. I love the natural world, human health and development, and philosophy. I'm also a vegan, for the environmental, animal and human health ethics.

I'm passionate about environmental issues, particularly biological conservation and how nature-based solutions can solve a complex array of other issues in the world. I feel that environmental and biological literacy is severely underrepresented in the EA community, which seems excessively tech-focused from my perspective.

I studied an undergratuate and masters degree in Natural Sciences in a top 100 global university, graduating in 2021. I focused on Environmental Science and Biology and conducted a masters project on agricultural sustainability. I then tapped into my lifelong passion for aquatics and worked as a Researcher for an elite university studying a pressing issue in marine biogeochemistry / marine biology conservation. I decided not to pursue a PhD immediately, preferring to be independent and travel the world on my own terms. I have now worked in biological conservation projects around the world, and assisted sustainability organisations with digital marketing and communications. I am now building a career in environmental filmmaking, from the ground up.

I've been fascinated for years by the EA approach and attempts at a rational way to improve world problems. I like to follow the recommended charities and occasionally do what I can to make modest contributions, outside of my career impact. However, I can't help but feel there are serious flaws in many of the assumptions, methodologies and approaches that EA on the whole uses to assess world problems. For example, I am skeptical of the technological advancement forecasts (such as AGI), and I feel like the community has huge blind spots, perhaps due to the existing biases of the academic and corporate paradigms prevalent in our times.

How I can help others:

Reach out to me if you have any questions on biological conservation, environmental sustainability, climate science, global Earth systems, the biosphere, biological conservation, mass extinctions, etc...

How others can help me: 

I am looking for opportunities, collaborations or a mentor to help break into environmental filmmaking, either independently or with a good team. This could include opportunities in environmental and biological fieldwork, involving global travel to document and conserve different ecosystems, and remote opportunities in impactful environmental research and communication.
