Hi! I am an ecologist working at the interface of natural history, data science, and biodiversity policy.

I am currently studying the impacts of resource industries on bird populations as a postdoc with the Boreal Avian Modelling Project. I am also a member of the Vascular Plants Specialist Subcommittee of COSEWIC.
