I currently work at the intersection of ocean science and policy. Previously, I was an interdisciplinary marine community ecologist interested in the science and politics of marine bio-monitoring. I studied how patterns of coral reef biodiversity and functional groups are affected by environmental and anthropogenic drivers (and methodology - including environmental DNA sampling). I remain curious about what the fields of science and technology studies and political ecology might offer towards more equity-centered and community-based marine conservation initiatives.
