Contact: [email protected] Research: Broadly, I am interested in facilitating dynamic ocean management in the face of changing oceans. My work leverages quantitative approaches to characterize and forecast the spatial and temporal responses of marine species to climate change. To this end, my PhD research combines diverse data types to illuminate redistributions of highly migratory species—such as sharks, tunas, marine mammals, and forage fish—with the goal of informing climate-resilient management strategies. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed my undergraduate at Oberlin College, where I synthesized disparate data types, including citizen-science records, scientific surveys, and environmental impact assessments to characterize the distribution of whale sharks in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.
