I am a marine ecologist focused on habitat restoration in coastal and estuarine ecosystems. I am examining how restored oyster reefs enhance populations of the fishes and crabs that depend on them. I hold a Ph.D. from Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center, with a graduate certificate in science leadership. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, working with Dr. Megan La Peyre.
My goal is to provide practical, user-driven conservation and restoration science. I want to inform decision-making and promote sustainable relationships between the environment and society.

I am particularly interested in projects that collaboratively advance marine conservation and restoration, recover lost or degraded ecosystem functions and services, and examine the sustainability of social-environmental systems. Please get in touch!
