RESEARCH

My fields of research include conservation, aquatic ecology and the impacts of human disturbance on ecosystem functioning. I'm particularly interested in knowledge co-production and developing our ability to manage biodiversity and sea- and land-use decisions in sustainable and just ways.

My current PhD research is concerned with salmon pathogen community composition and spread associated with salmon farming in coastal British Columbia. I combine field studies, molecular analyses with environmental DNA and mathematical modeling to inform better management approaches for aquaculture and sea-use.

I earned my BSc at the University of British Columbia in biology and oceanography, and my MSc in biology at McGill University.
