I'm a PhD candidate studying wildlife conservation at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and a Research Affiliate the Wildlife Institute of India.

My research asks: where are tigers and leopards most likely to attack livestock? I'm conducting fieldwork in Kanha Tiger Reserve, India, to examine landscape variation in predation risk from carnivores on cattle, buffalo and goats. I am primarily interested in exploring the roles that humans play in food webs and developing new perspectives for conserving wildlife and supporting the people that share their environments.
