I work to deliver scientifically rigorous consulting for aquatic monitoring programs, including environmental assessments (EA), environmental effects monitoring (EEM), and interpretive reporting (IR) under the ECCC Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations (MDMER). I lead projects involving teams of 2-5 research scientists and technical staff across.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

I developed modelling approaches to practically address the effects of multiple stressors on vulnerable species to support the co-management of ecosystems by government and Indigenous communities. This work was a systematic review of the approaches and current hurdles to overcome to braid western science techniques with Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

I lead groups of teaching assistants to maintain a high quality of course delivery. I also participated in course development.

While working on my thesis, I published over ten highly influential scientific articles and lead several presentations at conferences. My work on the long-term dynamics of vulnerable seabird populations has been used in the reassessment of approaches to access population dynamics to lead to stronger wildlife management. I used modelling in the R workspace.

I worked as a technician at ECCC responsible for efficient and careful analysis of water, snow, tissue, and sediment samples for methyl and total mercury concentrations. I participated in fieldwork in Fort McMurray, AB and in Castlegar, BC to collect sediment cores to address questions on environmental contaminant loading. I presented the results of this.

Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

I worked as a field assistant in Churchill, MB to support work on the effects of climate change on pollinator-plant interactions. This work involved the collection and identification of plant and insect species, the detailed-oriented documentation of changes in behaviour, and analysis of large datasets. The fieldwork was in a remote location where safety.

Newmarket, Ontario, Canada

I led fieldwork planting trees in riparian stream systems and developed programs on the mitigation of the invasive Emerald Ash Borer pest. This work also included community engagement to increase awareness of Emerald Ash Borer by speaking town meetings and events.

Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

I developed strong relationships while living in-home with people with intellectual disabilities. I was responsible for assisting with daily tasks such as feeding and bathing, with the aim to provide a respectful and enriching experience.
