PhD biologist and interdisciplinary consultant combining deep expertise in wildlife ecology, population genomics, spatial modelling, and biostatistics with a background in management consulting and environmental policy. Available for research, advisory, and applied consulting engagements.
Get in Touch ServicesEvidence-based ecological assessment, conservation planning, and biodiversity strategy for governments, NGOs, and private clients. Specialist experience with large carnivores and multi-species systems.
Habitat suitability modelling, landscape connectivity analysis, and dispersal forecasting using state-of-the-art spatial methods in R. Tailored to wildlife management or land-use planning needs.
End-to-end analysis of next-generation sequencing data (RADseq, SNP genotyping): QC and filtering, population structure, relatedness estimation, landscape genetics, and reproducible workflow development.
Statistical analysis and visualisation of complex ecological and genomic datasets using R. Bayesian methods, mixed models, and multivariate approaches. Publication-ready figures and reproducible code.
Manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed journals, grant writing support, technical report authorship, and independent review of ecology and genetics research.
Bridging science and policy with interdisciplinary expertise spanning conservation biology, international environmental governance, and applied management consulting.
I am an interdisciplinary scientist and consultant with a PhD in Biology from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), where I spent nearly a decade studying the habitat ecology and population genetics of Eurasian lynx during their natural range expansion across southern Sweden.
My scientific work sits at the intersection of landscape ecology, conservation genetics, and spatial analysis. I have analysed large next-generation sequencing datasets, developed reproducible bioinformatic pipelines, extracted and processed DNA from close to 1,000 tissue samples, and published multiple peer-reviewed papers in leading conservation and genetics journals. I have presented findings at international conferences across Europe and beyond.
Before returning to academia, I spent several years as a management consultant at Deloitte, advising large public- and private-sector clients on technology transformation. That combination — rigorous scientific training alongside practical consulting experience — means I can translate complex research into clear, actionable recommendations for diverse audiences.
My graduate training also includes an MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London and an MSc in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics, giving me an unusually broad grounding in both the science and governance of conservation.
I am a dual US–Swedish citizen, available for remote and international engagements.
Coordinated communication among globally dispersed conservation biologists; presented at the International Range-wide Snow Leopard Planning Conference, Beijing, 2008.
I am available for consulting projects, research collaborations, advisory roles, peer review, and speaking engagements. Remote and international engagements welcome.
The best way to reach me is by email. I aim to respond to all enquiries within two business days.
