Biography
I am an ESRC funded PhD student in the Department of Geography. Before coming to Cambridge, I worked as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, where I collaborated with various governmental and non-governmental on projects that focused on off-grid energy access. I have also worked for several NGO's on the topic of marine plastic pollution. My current research looks at the complex history and politics of fast-growing trees in Laikipia County, Kenya.
