I first learned about ShoreZone during a field school at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre while completing a degree in Biology and Oceanography at the University of British Columbia. My enthusiasm was sparked by the scale and ambition of the project, so when the opportunity to contribute to ShoreZone emerged, I grabbed it. After taking to the skies on my first survey in Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park, I was hooked. I have since participated in two other surveys along British Columbia’s beautiful coastline.

I am thrilled to be part of the SeaChange team, as they provide an invaluable opportunity to work on projects that will help restore and preserve marine life. I look forward to learning from the diverse perspectives of my colleagues and contributing meaningful work that will positively impact local ecosystems.

When I’m not mapping shorelines, I am enjoying the outdoors—from a hike in the woods to relaxing on the beach with a good book—making Victoria a perfect place to call home.
