Originally from Taranaki, New Zealand, I went on to complete a BSc and PG-Dip in Ecology and Biodiversity at Victoria University of Wellington, then an MSc and PhD in Evolutionary Ecology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney. My PhD thesis explored male reproductive investment and phenotypic plasticity in post-copulatory traits. 

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at Stockholm University and an Adjunct Associate Lecturer at UNSW, Sydney. Generally, I combine empirical research with Dipterans and quantitative literature syntheses such as meta-analyses to address a broad range of questions within evolutionary ecology. I am especially interested in sexual selection, life-history theory, and reproductive investment strategies. At Stockholm University, I am working with Prof Rhonda Snook to further our understanding of the diversity in sperm form and function within insects.
