I am a transdisciplinary scholar, storyteller, and educator working at the intersection of ecology, spirituality, and culture. Born and raised in a multicultural family in South Africa, I identify as a transnational scholar within the Global Majority, which includes both human and more-than-human communities.

My work explores the environmental importance of decolonial and Indigenous perspectives on multispecies ontology, more-than-human personhood, and cultural sovereignty. My teaching focuses on decolonial methods and pedagogy, environmental studies and anthropology, ecology and religion, and Indigenous lifeways.

Before earning my Ph.D., I spent twenty years working in social documentaries, environmental media, and agricultural communications across Africa, Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. I have been a visiting assistant professor of anthropology at Randolph-Macon College in Virginia and am an adjunct faculty member at the California Institute of Integral Studies and Pacifica Graduate Institute in California.

I live in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, whose traditional owners are the Wulgurukaba of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun, as well as the Bindal, Gugu Badhun, and Nywaigi peoples.
