I am a coastal ecologist with a PhD in Biological Oceanography with the Florida State University Marine Turtle Research, Ecology, and Conservation Group. Through my work, I hope to find better ways for us to balance the human use and continued function of coastal ecosystems. In pursuit of this coastal conservation, I often use geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and environmental modelling in collaboration with stakeholders, citizen science groups, and students. My recent projects largely revolve around the habitat use sea turtles in both space and time and how our use of the coastal environment impacts their ecology.
