Welcome!

I need to update this section – March 4 2026

I am interested in aquatic ecology, toxicology, and environmental justice. I strive to link my research to the communities that are impacted by water quality issues. I prioritize community outreach and educational volunteer opportunities alongside the science I conduct. I believe in creating a diverse, accessible, and inclusive field, and actively work to listen to underrepresented voices to create change.

I also study improvisational theatre and sketch comedy writing. I use these skills to become a better science communicator. In early 2024 I started a series of lunchtime workshops where my colleagues and I can practice improv and sketch comedy to gain confidence and grace in communicating our research to any audience.
