Current Research
I am a freshwater ecologist and conservation scientist exploring how anthropogenic stressors affect biodiversity and ecosystem services in inland aquatic ecosystems. I use both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to integrate social, ecological, and environmental data to understand the vulnerability of these systems to environmental change. My post-doctoral research focuses on the social and ecological effects of climate change on small-scale inland fisheries in East Africa, and investigates the interface between evidence-based decision making and policy in Canada.
