I'm a biologist interested in studying biologging, physiology, and behavior to understand how aquatic species and ecosystems are responding to anthropogenic stressors, and how this can best inform conservation and resource management.

I've worked in environments spanning subtropical coral reefs to Arctic freshwaters, and have worked with taxa ranging from seaweeds to macroinvertebrates to fish. Science communication and education are personal passions, and I'm increasingly interested in research that is co-produced and owned by the communities it impacts.

Beyond my work as a biologist, I'm interested in journalism and media, wildlife photography, and climate justice work.
