Camille is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute, Edmonton, Canada. In collaboration with Dr Mark Boyce at the University of Alberta, she completed her PhD on sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii) ecology in central Uganda. The sitatunga research project focused on methods to monitor populations and provide data to enhance management decisions for improving conservation including DNA analysis, camera trapping, community ecology of native wildlife and livestock, and incentives to local communities and private farmers to enhance sitatunga and wetland conservation in Uganda. Before her PhD studies, Camille worked for state and federal government in the USA, including as a Biologist Specialist with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and as a Biological Science Technician with the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station, Savannah River, USA. Camille completed her MSc in Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin, USA, assessing survival of white-tailed deer fawns. Camille extended her collaboration with the Tanzania Research and Conservation Organization (TRCO), and assessed the perceptions of local communities towards pangolins in central Tanzania, at the Ruaha landscape. Camile is an active scientist that published several articles related to sitatunga population estimates, environmental and organism interactions, and mortality of white-tailed deer.
