About
I earned a Ph.D. in aquatic and fishery sciences at the University of Washington in 2009. In my graduate research, I used field-based and quantitative analytical tools to address ecological questions relevant to management and conservation of rocky reef ecosystems. My dissertation examined the predatory role of lingcod in the San Juan Archipelago, Washington.
Following graduate school, I was a research associate at the University of Washington and NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) in Seattle. My primary research was aimed at developing a body of historical information on data-poor species in Puget Sound from local ecological knowledge. As a National Research Council associate in 2011, I examined relationships between demersal fish distribution and ocean conditions along the U.S. West Coast.
In January 2012, I joined the faculty at the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. My lab is located at the Juneau fisheries campus.
In general, I am interested in the ecological responses of aquatic communities to environmental change across multiple scales.
