About me
I’m a physical geographer with a focus on soil health and sustainable land use. In my research, I explore how composting practices, compost, soil life, and pesticide residues interact within horticultural (soil)systems. Through my postdoc project (NEXISOIL), I work towards more resilient and sustainable farming systems in Kenya.
