I have always been interested in the natural environment, and my enthusiasm towards marine ecosystems grew while completing my Bachelor of Science at the University of Victoria, where I double majored in Biology and Anthropology. Since graduating, I have been excited to learn and take on new challenges and opportunities as they arise.

My diverse background includes many years as a research assistant in labs at UVic applying molecular biology techniques on various alpine plants and marine organisms to learn more about species diversity. One of my favourite experiences over the years was teaching the field component of an adult education class where I introduced people to the wonders of the intertidal zone.

I was first introduced to ShoreZone when I worked at Archipelago Marine Research, Ltd. and was excited years later to have the opportunity to join Coastal and Ocean Resources, Inc. as a bio mapper and be able to learn and work with ShoreZone again. It is with much enthusiasm that I am now part of SeaChange and all the new experiences that come along with it.

When not working, I enjoy playing ice hockey, wandering local beaches, and spending time with my family.
