About me
I am a conservation biologist and research scientist passionate about ecological research. My past work has focused largely on bumble bee conservation, but also includes studies on bumble bee movement, habitat connectivity, and ecosystem restoration.
I am currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Western University, studying songbird migration behaviour. I bring experience from my previous roles as a Research Scientist at the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), University of Guelph, University of British Columbia, and York University. I also offer expertise in statistical analysis, GIS mapping, bee conservation, literature reviews, and more, supporting conservation and biodiversity initiatives across Canada.
My research interests are:
- behavioural ecology
- conservation
- restoration
- songbird migration
- pollinators
- all things bumble bees!
Looking to hire an ecologist?
I'm available for consulting projects across Canada.
I have conducted research with a variety of techniques including:
- field sampling of bees, nests, and plants
- statistical modelling
- conservation planning
- systematic literature reviews
- radio telemetry to study movement behaviour
You can learn more about the skills I have picked up along the way on my skills page.
Although my specialty is bumble bee research, I am open to working on any ecological research project, especially those with an applied angle. View some of my past research examples on my experience page.
When I am not out searching for bumble bees or analyzing data, you can find me hanging out with my dog, gardening, hiking, playing violin, baking or crafting!
