My research focuses on understanding drivers of animal movement and habitat selection. For my PhD, I am developing an agent-based model of European roe deer in the Italian Alps to investigate how internal states, such as energy balance, thermoregulatory stress, memory, and fear, interact to shape roe deer movement decisions. This work utilizes GPS, camera trap, and physiological data collected in the field to construct a mechanistic model of roe deer movement. In addition to my work on roe deer, I have also studied lion habitat selection in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa, and am developing a project to investigate shade-seeking behavior in African ungulates in a savanna context. Before starting my PhD in 2022, I earned a B.S. in Biology and Environmental Studies from Tufts University (2020) and worked as a GIS scientist at an environmental consulting firm in Boston.
