About


I am a wildlife biologist with over a decade of experience studying marine mammals. My research and work centers on understanding how marine mammals interact with, and respond to human activities and changes within their environment. I am currently the Marine Program Coordinator for San Juan County.

Research



I study the impacts of human activities on marine mammals. My research has included impacts of vessel presence, acoustic alarms, oil & gas exploration activities, and renewable energy developments. I also study foraging behaviour and ecology of minke whales in the Northeast Pacific.
