I am currently working as a research associate with Dr. Natalie Ban’s Marine Ethnoecology Research Group at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada.
I completed my PhD in geography with Dr. B.L. Turner at Arizona State University (2009 – 2015), did postdoctoral training with Dr. James Ford’s climate change adaptation group at McGill University (2016 – 2017), and held an ORISE postdoctoral fellowship with the United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development, Atlantic Coastal Environmental Sciences Division (2017 – 2022). I also taught as a Faculty Associate at ASU (2016 – 2018).
Prior to my doctoral training, I completed a B.Sc. at McGill University’s School of Environment (2000 – 2004) worked for New York State’s Hudson River Estuary Program (2005 – 2006) and completed an M.Sc. from Concordia University’s Department of Geography, Environment and Planning (2006 – 2008).
