Emperor penguin foraging ecology
My MSc thesis research used biologging data to examine diving behavior and movement, and estimate energy expenditure prey capture attempts.

Ph.D. Fellow at Oregon State University studying the ecology, energetics, movement, and conservation of marine megafauna through field research, biologging, photogrammetry, and quantitative ecology.
About my work
Connecting bioenergetics to marine ecosystem change
My research focuses on how marine predators respond to environmental variability, energetic constraints, and human impacts.
I combine field observations, aerial photogrammetry, biologging, stable isotopes, movement data, and statistical modeling to study whales, penguins, and other marine wildlife.

Gray whale ecology and body condition
My PhD dissertation research examines how gray whales may practice resilience in future climate scenarios. I use aerial photogrammetry to measure past and current body condition, stable isotopes to investigate foraging ecology, tag-based movement metrics to understand habitat suitability, and more!
