My current research interests broadly lie at the interface of natural resource management and freshwater ecosystems. Applied research comes with lots of time spent hunkered over the computer combining theory and hard data... but my favourite time doing research is getting my boots muddy outside in the field. Please check out my research interests, publications, and current CV for a complete history of my professional experiences.

Growing up in the Kootenay region of British Columbia (Ktunaxa ʔamakiʔ, the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa people), blessed with large tracts of wilderness to explore, fueled my passion for environmental science and wildlife biology. Today, outdoor adventures alongside family and friends always include pauses to identify insects, listen to bird calls, or ponder which furry creature made tracks in the snow. In part to these cherished memories is why I put conservation and sustainable use of our natural spaces at the forefront of my work. 

 

When I'm not studying forests and fish, you can find me outside hiking, kayaking, camping, or playing golf!
