I am a UK-based researcher and storyteller interested in the relationships between people and wild places. My research focuses on the evolutionary underpinnings of human engagement with the natural world, while my writing and photography explore the lived narratives of experience, culture, and identity that embody that connection.
With a background in anthropology and research expedition, I have conducted projects across multiple continents, working with athletes, hunter-gatherers, and personal endeavour.
I am currently researching a PhD in Biological Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, examining the evolutionary basis of human locomotor performance—running, climbing, swimming and diving—through the lens of hunter-gatherer societies and contemporary athletes worldwide.
