About Me

I am a stable isotope ecologist studying the life histories of marine organisms. I am currently an Alaska Seagrant State Fellow working with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, where I focus on synthesizing shellfish stock assessment data to support fisheries management.

I earned a BSc in Biology in 2017 from the University of Utah and a PhD in Quantitative Systems Biology in 2025 from the University of California, Merced.My PhD thesis focused on chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes, including sharks, skates, and rays) and developed the use of chronological tissues, such as eye lens layers and serially sampled teeth, to reconstruct lifetime and seasonal movement and foraging patterns across space and time.
