I’m especially excited to learn more about soil science, focusing on how current challenges like soil degradation and erosion impact land productivity and ecosystem health. I look forward to studying advanced techniques for soil conservation, restoration, and management, and exploring the latest research on soil microbiomes and their role in sustainability.

Understanding the historical context of soil use and mismanagement will provide valuable insights into how we can better protect and enhance soil health for the future.

What are some of your favourite hobbies?

I love diving headfirst into the world of food culture—yes, I’m a big foodie! I get a kick out of exploring diverse culinary traditions, experimenting with new recipes, and uncovering the fascinating stories behind different dishes. Whether it’s savouring street food, sampling new restaurants, or tackling complex recipes at home, I’m always up for a trip to flavour town.

When I’m not on a culinary quest, you might find me lounging on the beach with a good book, roaming through museums and galleries for a dose of creativity, or discovering hidden gems in cityscapes and hiking trails. These adventures keep me refreshed and inspired!
