Position: Personal Assistant to Prof. David Macdonald

Background
I have recently joined WildCRU as Professor Macdonald’s personal assistant. In 2004 I obtained my PhD from Manchester Metropolitan University on the behavioural ecology of male patas monkeys in Kenya. Previously I worked in Zambia on blue monkeys contributing to a wildlife management plan for Kasanka National Park. My Masters degree was on the social organisation of long-tailed macaques on the island of Sumba, Indonesia. Throughout, my interests have focused on the interplay between social organisation and ecological experience in primate species which form sub groups.
