Experience
Connectivity and Conservation
My first postdoctoral fellowship position was at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, supervised by Drs. Jason Pither, Adam Ford, Lael Parrot, Josie Hughes, and Richard Pither. We are working in a large collaborative group to synthesize future research directions for connectivity conservation.
Bumble Bee Conservation
My PhD research at York University focused on at-risk bumble bee species' habitat with the Native Pollinator Research Lab (supervised by Dr. Sheila Colla). I used a variety of methods, including literature reviews, local-scale surveys, landscape-scale models, and detection dogs, to map bumble bee conservation priority areas across Canada.
Native Plant Restoration & Ecological Research
Earlier research experiences, including my MSc and BSc, have taken me across various ecosystems. I studied native plant restoration in the Californian deserts, investigated cyanobacteria abundance in northern Ontario lakes, and examined seed germination with and without plant interactions in the alpine-tundra of northern British Columbia.
