About me

I am a quantitative marine ecologist interested in applied research for a more proactive, sustainable and climate-resilient world. Broadly, my interests span seafood sustainability, fisheries, climate change, dynamic risk adaptation and ecological forecasting. Currently, I’m a postdoc at UC Davis in the Provost Lab, working on climate refugia for red abalone across California’s marine estate. Outside of work, you can most likely find me hiking somewhere in Desolation Wilderness.
