I’ve completed two undergraduate degrees, a BSc. in Earth Science and Physical Geography with a Minor in Chemistry (2013) and a BSc. in Geomatics (2015) at Carleton University. I’ve worked as a field assistant at Carleton on different research projects collecting data, such as mercury levels in fish in Gatineau Park (Quebec), soil moisture, vegetation densities and streamflow in Alfred Bog (Ontario) and as a GIS analyst on a permafrost borehole drilling campaign in Northwest Territories.

I recently completed my MSc under the supervision of Dr. Scott Mitchell and Dr. Murray Richardson, with support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. My research was focused on hydrological process modeling and agricultural systems, looking at representing changes to agri-environmental factors such as flood risk, erosion, surface runoff, sediment transport, and irrigation using a GIS based dynamic model.
