PhD Candidate​

​

I am a PhD candidate in the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies (NRES) program under supervision of Eduardo Martins, with additional mentorship from James Crossman (BC Hydro), Mark Shrimpton (UNBC) and Joe Thorley (Poisson Consulting). In general, I am interested in conservation, fish movement/spatial ecology, computationally/data-intensive analysis and Bayesian statistics. More specifically, my research involves analysis of long-term White Sturgeon movements from acoustic telemetry in the Columbia River. This research is funded by BC Hydro and Government of Canada via a MITACS Accelerate grant. It aims to contribute to the recovery of this endangered population and to improve our understanding of the ecology of a species that is imperilled throughout its range. Outside of academic interests, I play a lot of music and love outdoor water activities like surfing and kayaking/canoeing.
