I am interested in the management and conservation of marine organisms using scientifically informed, innovative, and place-based approaches such as marine reserves. My research has focused on larval transport and population connectivity of marine invertebrates in coastal environments. In addition, I spent eight years working as a biologist for the National Park Service, monitoring rocky intertidal ecosystems and providing guidance for park managers to make informed decisions. I will teach a variety of courses including those focusing on Ecology, Marine Ecology, Conservation Biology, and Zoology.
