I am a PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide in Animal and Veterinary Sciences. I have an interest in animal behaviour and cognition with my research investigating how animals perceive, learn from, and respond to others within their social environments. Focusing on social cognition, birds and welfare, my work aims to better understand the cognitive processes that shape behaviour and inform evidence-based welfare practices in zoological settings.
