I am a Masters’ student studying interactions between birds and marine mammals in the salt marsh. I'm interested in marine predators, predator interactions, and conservation. Although I'm from upstate New York and never lived near the ocean, I decided to become a marine biologist in about fourth grade (I blame sea otters). In high school, I participated in a summer program through S.E.A. which convinced me that marine biology was definitely the way to go.

I graduated from Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI in 2006 with a degree in marine biology. During undergrad, I worked on an REU Internship at Cornell's Shoals Marine Lab, where I studied Squalus acanthias, the spiny dogfish. I also completed an undergraduate thesis, “A Wildlife Survey of Boyd's Marsh, Portsmouth, RI,” examining bird populations in an un-restored salt marsh. After graduating, I worked for Shoals Marine Laboratory in Maine, and for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in New York City.

Outside of science, I am an avid photographer. I also enjoy kayaking, SCUBA diving, and I was on the varsity sailing team at RWU.
