About me
If there is water, I will be there.
The roots of my conservation career began with an obsession for all things aquatic. As a child I spent an innumerable number of hours staring into any water-body I could find, trying to figure out what was going on inside. As I grew up I knew I wanted my work to somehow incorporate the nature that fueled my curiosity. In pursuit of this dream I completed a bachelors and masters degree in biology, and completed my doctorate in ecology in 2013. A lot of my formal studies of the sciences, and ecology in particular, focused on the problems faced by the ecosystems I was so enthralled with as a child. I decided I wanted my science to not only document the nature of ecological problems, but also to provide tractable solutions to deal with these issues. Focusing on applied ecology seemed like a perfect opportunity to pursue this goal.
