I am an ecologist interested in coastal and marine ecosystems. My research applies ecological principles to questions with conservation, management and restoration applications.Â
As the Research Coordinator at the North Inlet - Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in South Carolina, I'm responsible for facilitating research within the Reserve, helping run the System-Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP), and leading my own research group. In addition, I'm a Research Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina's Baruch Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences, advise graduate students through USC's School of the Earth, Ocean and Environment, and teach a field course for undergraduate Marine Science majors at the Baruch Marine Field Lab.
If you're interested in collaborating, have questions about North Inlet/Winyah Bay, or just want to visit the Reserve, don't hesitate to get in touch!
