I am proud to have joined the SeaChange team and am especially keen to explore how multidisciplinary sciences and cultural knowledge can collaboratively benefit coastal and ocean ecosystem management.

I have worked extensively in the marine public aquarium industry where I received my Nerd certification for Pacific Northwest marine species identification and specialization in equipment and logistics management.  This diverse work included taxonomic surveys by scuba diving in frigid Arctic waters, rearing of undescribed larval fish species, and creation of complex simulated habitat displays; During this time, I learned to appreciate the indispensable value of being part of a team of passionate dependable people.

I can often be found with my head under a bush, examining a cryptic leafhopper; or lost in the forest, flinging pointy sticks with my bow.  I am highly food motivated, and I would argue that Marine biology is the most delicious of the sciences.
