Areas of Interest

Quantitative Fisheries Science

Teaching

(previously) Introduction to Marine and Island Ecology of The Bahamas (John G. Shedd Aquarium, undergraduate course)

Research

My research focuses on stock assessment, population dynamics of fishes, and statistical methods - with the goal of analyzing and solving relevant, real world problems. Research is done in both marine and freshwater systems. Simultaneously communicate and work on solutions with key stakeholders, especially through public outreach.
