I am a journalist and researcher investigating animal welfare, livestock systems, biodiversity, and wildlife—where science, policy, and power intersect. My work has been published by Apache, Belga, De Groene Amsterdammer, EOS, Follow the Money, Green European Journal, Knack, and MO*.

In 2024, I founded the Animal Welfare Network on Signal to connect and support journalists and researchers working on animal-related investigations.

My projects have been supported by Arena for Journalism in Europe, Journalismfund.eu, IJ4EU, Free Press Unlimited, Fonds Pascal Decroos, and deBuren. I have also taken part in international programmes including Climate Arena, the European Collaborative Journalism Programme, and the Dark Green Programme.

I hold an MSc in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law and am currently completing an MSc in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health. My academic work examines how animal protection and biodiversity are framed in national politics in Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium.

I work across borders on complex investigations and am available as a collaborator, speaker, facilitator, mentor, and project manager.
