About Me
My interests in natural history were sparked at a young age. Growing up in Eastern Canada, I spent most of my childhood exploring coasts and woodlands. Observing the frogs, fish, birds, and other organisms in these natural settings inspired my curiosity and led me to pursue a career in ecology.
I earned my BSc in Zoology from the University of Oklahoma in 2011. As an undergraduate student, I gained hands-on experience working with fishes in the Ichthyology collection at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History. I earned my MSc in 2014, also from the University of Oklahoma. My research focused on the ecology of the Spotted Gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), a native freshwater piscivore which is facing conservation issues in parts of its range.
Now, I am pursuing my PhD in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Kansas State University. My research focuses on the ecophysiology of prairie stream fishes in relation to temperature.
