Welcome!
I am a postdoctoral scholar at East Carolina University working with Rebecca Asch on an NSF-funded project looking at larval fish phenology along the west coast of North America. I obtained my PhD from the University of California, Santa Cruz under the guidance of Rita Mehta and Tim Tinker. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Miami in 2015. I am also the Safe Routes to School Coordinator for the Town of Winterville, NC, where I am working to cultivate a culture of active mobility and kids biking, walking, and rolling to schools and parks.
​
Across my scientific career and advocacy work, I'm interested spatial and movement ecology -- whether it be schools of little baby fish or schools of kids.
​
In my spare time, I love to bike, go geocaching, create art (see my Art page!), play board games, and swing/blues dance.
