Research Assistant
I graduated from the University of Exeter with a BSc in Zoology in 2018. I then moved on to the University of Bristol where I completed an MSc by Research. My MScR investigated social influences on the expression of exploratory traits in the Pacific beetle cockroach. This provided me with experience rearing colonies of insects.
In 2020 I joined London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine as a Scientific Officer. Here I reared mosquito colonies and carried out behavioral assays in order to investigate the genetic basis of host attraction to malaria mosquitoes.
My research is on the interactive role of insecticide resistance and larval nutrition on mosquito fitness and lifelong foraging strategies.
