I completed my PhD in the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta in the Catchment and Wetland Science Research Group.  I studied the downstream effects of permafrost thaw in northern peatlands. My focus was on methylmercury, a potent neurotoxin, in streams and ponds within peatland catchments across the Taiga Plains in northern Alberta and Northwest Territories. My research occurred on Indigenous territory that that spans the land of the Gwitch’in, Dehcho Dene, Dene Tha’, Woodland Cree, Big Stone Cree, and Metis peoples.
