I’m an Ecoystems Biologist at the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Prior to this, I worked for eight years as a professional biologist in environmental consulting, leading environmental assessments and permit applications, developing management guidance, and developing monitoring and restoration plans for marine and freshwater systems.

I have worked on projects in areas as diverse as amphibian conservation, wetland ecology, ecosystem-based management of forests, commercial invertebrate fisheries management, and carrion community ecology. Through these projects, I have been fortunate to work with academics, government, and First Nations.

I completed my MSc at Simon Fraser University, where I was a member of Earth to Ocean, a research group that works on diverse freshwater and marine ecosystems. I studied how human disturbances, like climate change, impact amphibians and proposed a framework to help identify the risk of amphibian populations to decline.
