I am an ecologist studying the world’s changing rivers. I examine patterns in temperature and nutrients to assess the response of watersheds to climate change. A record of how river environments are changing could help scientists predict future changes and develop strategies for successful management.
Prior to working at Woodwell Climate, I conducted research in freshwater chemistry and fisheries labs. I have deep expertise in aquatic ecology, biochemistry, water conservation, and science outreach and education. My work is motivated by a love for outdoor spaces, particularly aquatic ones, and the knowledge that human impacts are damaging the health of these ecosystems.
I live in New Bedford, MA, but spend time in and around water bodies in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I am particularly fond of the Laurentian Great Lakes. When I am not working, I can be found hiking, cooking, or reading with my cat.
