Summary

I'm currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Fort Hare, South Africa. My PhD was competed at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and focused on the Systematics and biogeography of the Cape Parrot. My current research focus looks at using metabarcoding techniques to assess biodiversity in understudied regions, as well as assessing the phylogenetic diversity of taxa in these habitats.
