I am a marine scientist and storyteller based in coastal North Carolina
I am a fourth year PhD candidate in the Nye lab at UNC-Chapel Hill. I draw on natural and social science methods to address challenges facing fisheries, marine mammals, and people. I use quantitative tools and fisher interviews to help us better understand and manage ocean wildlife.
In addition to my work as a fisheries scientist, I enjoy viewing the ocean through another lens. I use photography, film, and writing to tell stories about the ocean and the people who are connected to it. I am currently the Storytelling Director for Lighthouse Environment Partners.
