​

Postdoctoral Research: I am interested in the environmental and anthropogenic factors that influence underwater soundscapes. Additionally, I am interested in how underwater soundscapes can affect animal hearing, communication, and movement patterns. 

PhD, University of Maine

BS, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

Postdoctoral Research: Investigating genomic and morphological trait variation of Arctic charr and their potential linkages to behavior, diet, changing environments, and population demography.

BS, Union College

​

Thesis Research Topic: My research focuses on using bomb calorimetry as a tool to better understand how climate change is affecting energy density in the marine food web. This work may have implications for predicting marine trophic dynamics, species behavior, and organism health.

​

Thesis Research Topic: Using PIT tagging and acoustic telemetry, I am investigating movements of anadromous river herring in the Bellamy River, NH. Specifically, I am trying to understand the degree of upstream passage through historical dam sites and other barriers to migration (i.e. high channel velocities or steep inclines).

Thesis Research Topic: Ecology of Arctic Charr trophic phenotypes and their potential resilience to climate change

MS, Yale School of the Environment

BS, Seattle University

​

Thesis Research Topic:  Investigating the movement ecology of Atlantic cod in the Gulf of Maine using a range of methods (passive and active acoustic monitoring, diets, eDNA) to try to understand the behavior of cod in a changing climate and how these trends relate more broadly to metrics of biodiversity.

​

Thesis Research Topic: My research investigates seabird movement and trophic ecology in relation to fish communities. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how seabird-fish interactions change over space and time, and how we might use seabirds to help monitor fisheries.

​

Thesis Research Topic:  Using historical diet data, I hope to identify the impacts of climate-driven range shifts on the trophic interactions of marine systems throughout the Northwest Atlantic and the consequences of potential mismatches.

BS, Coastal Carolina University

​

Thesis Research Topic:  I am using acoustic telemetry to investigate the fine-scale movements of Jonah crabs and the potential impacts of claw removal on behavior.
