With a Bachelor’s Degree (BSc) in Geography from the University of Victoria, I have over sixteen years of experience working in the coastal environment in British Columbia, Alaska,  Florida, South Carolina, Washington, and the Canadian Arctic. I have been involved in and led many marine projects including the ShoreZone Coastal Habitat Mapping program, Seabed Imagery surveys, aerial surveys, and Arctic Oceanography programs. I have experience in database management, project management and geographic information systems.

I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario, and have lived in Victoria, British Columbia for the last twenty-three years. I enjoy being a part of a team that helps preserve, protect, and understand the health of our coastal ecosystems.
