MSc (Forest and Conservation Sciences), The University of British Columbia, 2020 – Present.

Research Interests

My research interests broadly encompass forest ecology, agroecology, and the intersection of these topics with socioeconomic issues. I am most interested in interdisciplinary projects which examine the impacts of ecological health and landscape cover on wellbeing and local livelihoods.

Using remotely-sensed data and GIS, my current research focuses on forest-edge effects and crop productivity in Narok County, Kenya.
