I am an ecologist focused on the integration of human and ecological systems. Having performed research in both the arachnid biodiversity of Ecuador and the anthropomorphic influence of ecologies in film and literature, I focus on the intersection of environments and human behavior. As a freedive athlete and trainer, I believe strongly that the reintegration of humans and the environment begins with reconnecting to nature. I pursue opportunities in restoration ecology, regenerative system building, circular economy design, and biomimicry-based sustainability.
