I’m an environmental genomics consultant with a background in molecular ecology and mycology with a passion for bioinformatics and data analysis.  I specialize in creating tools to help make sense of complex DNA sequencing data, especially from environmental samples for biomonitoring applications.

Right now, I'm a Biostatistcian at CRG-EVERSANA, conducting data analyses such as indirect treatment comparisons.  Working in the pharmaceutical-adjacent, contract consulting space, has given me a new perspective on how to work effectively as a part of teams with diverse backgrounds, how to tackle new problems, and provide actionable insights.

Previously, I was a Research Associate III at the University of Guelph, developing bioinformatic tools to process DNA metabarcoding data. You can check out some of my work on my GitHub repositories and Google Scholar page.  My collaborative approach has led to invited scientific talks in the government and academic realms, as well as numerous peer-reviewed published papers.

In my past role as a Research Scientist (SE-RES-2) at Natural Resources Canada, I tackled various projects, helping the group make sense of DNA data from their environmental samples and how this may impact forest management practices.

In my consulting work, I've worked with multiple clients, helping demystify DNA data to address government agency mandates and helped to spearhead a new international eDNA standardization task force.

What keeps me going is my genuine love for bioinformatics and data analysis.

I'm always open to discussing how my enthusiasm and skills can contribute to your projects. Let's connect and explore potential collaborations.
