Statement of Interest
I am a marine mammal researcher with a strong interest in field-based science that supports the conservation of rare and endangered whale populations. My work is motivated by the need to increase the relevance and reach of science in shaping effective marine conservation and management.
I take an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from spatial ecology, oceanography, and biology. My research combines genetic, isotopic, acoustic, and visual data to investigate patterns of movement, foraging, and connectivity in cetacean populations. I am also interested in the analytical and computational challenges that come with managing large, multivariate datasets and building spatial models to assess risk and guide decision-making.
I bring experience at the interface of research and environmental policy and seek out collaborations that can drive practical conservation outcomes. I am committed to mentoring early-career scientists and building inclusive, collaborative environments that reflect the diversity conservation science needs.
