I'm a NOAA oceanographer who leads a diverse science portfolio ranging from the ecosystem impacts of sea level rise, to harmful algal blooms and coral ecosystems. An ecologist by training, I previously worked with USGS on a large-scale waterfowl study focused on migration patterns an foraging ecology, and on a series of habitat assessment studies in National Wildlife Refuges. I love exploring the world through nature, especially birds. Every place, from a city park to wild and remote landscapes tells an awesome story.
