I am a Lecturer based at Queen's University Belfast in the School of Biological Sciences. I am also an Associate Editor at Marine Biology, Subject Editor at NeoBiota, Honorary Research Associate at the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Invasion Biology (Stellenbosch University), and a Member of the Young Academy Ireland. Previously, I held a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at Queen's, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and a Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Currently, I hold a New Investigator Award, funded by BBSRC (UKRI).

My research interests broadly gravitate around global changes and their impacts on ecosystems, economies and health. I mostly focus on biological invasions and disease vector biology, using a range of approaches at different scales.
