I am broadly interested in field-based research that advances scientific understanding and supports the conservation of rare and endangered whale populations. My work focuses on increasing the impact of science to inform and improve marine conservation and management. I adopt an interdisciplinary approach, integrating methods from spatial ecology, biology, and oceanography, including genetics, stable isotopes, and acoustics, to explore patterns, processes, connectivity, and scale in marine mammal populations. Additionally, I am drawn to the theoretical, technical, and analytical challenges of managing large multivariate datasets and developing spatial models for marine mammals and ecosystems.
​
I welcome opportunities to leverage my expertise in marine mammal science, environmental policy, and collaborative research to drive meaningful conservation initiatives, mentor the next generation of scientists, and contribute to advancing knowledge in endangered species management. Through my leadership, I strive to foster inclusivity within academic and conservation science communities, promoting diversity and collaboration.
