Research/Career Interests: 

My research interests include the ecology and conservation of cetacean populations. Most of my research investigates interactions between cetaceans and human activities, with the aim of improving the conservation/management of the population(s) under study.

During my M.S. and Ph.D., I contributed towards a long-term photo-ID project monitoring Hector’s dolphins (Cephalorynchus hectori) at Banks Peninsula, New Zealand. Using Bayesian capture-recapture models, my research focused on the effects of fisheries regulations on mark (i.e., “scar”) rate and population dynamics.

In March 2024 I joined the GEMM Lab as a Postdoctoral Scholar, investigating trends in entanglement scars on humpback whales (SLATE) and the overlap between rorqual whales and the Dungeness crab fishery (OPAL).
