I graduated from the University of Hull in 2015 with a BSc in Physical Geography, before deciding to study more Human Geography by undertaking an MSc in Environmental Change and International Development at the University of Sheffield. Here I developed an interest in how smallholder farmers within socio-ecological systems in developing countries can adapt to the effects from climate change. I also have worked with several NGOs in the global south around these topics.
As such, my interdisciplinary research investigates tropical montane agroforestry as an adaptation to climate change in Tanzania, using Kilimanjaro’s inhabited forests as a case study.
