I am project officer for the Tropical Ecology and Entomology Lab (TEE Lab) at ASE. My work focuses on providing stakeholder in Southeast Asia with the capacity use of dung beetles as bioindicators for both academic research and citizen science. This work is done mainly through the creation and maintenance of specimen/ species-level dung beetle databases and datasets, digitising collections to create high-resolution keys and photographic guides, and supporting the various undergraduate and postgraduate studies out in the field and in the lab.

With an interest in science communication, I am keen on using photography and videography to realise the hidden value of personal experiences through documentation in scientific research. I am also interested in promoting collection based natural history biodiversity to raise awareness of the importance of biological collections towards scientific discoveries. My favourite tea is PG Tips.
