Forest & Freshwater Ecology  |  Conservation Science  |  Environmental Law & Policy

Hello and welcome! I am a PhD researcher who is driven to produce and co-produce scientific insights with tangible, real-world policy application towards environmental challenges facing society. My research interests are diverse, but lie at the intersection of natural resource management and freshwater ecosystems. I am currently studying how forest management influences the climate change vulnerability of river systems in the Wabanaki forest region, with a particular focus on salmonid fish habitat. Some of my other projects include protected areas planning, mining law and policy, and aquatic invasive species management.

I live and conduct my research in Mi'kma'ki, the traditional unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. As a settler descendent, I recognize the Peace and Friendship treaties that exist on these lands and acknowledge the First Peoples who have stewarded these lands for generations.
