My primary goal as a researcher is to do high quality science geared towards applied conservation and management issues relevant in a rapidly changing world. I work as a Research Scientist for Environment and Climate Change Canada.
I am currently building a new research program which will include field research in the Montreal & Ottawa area, as well as desktop analyses, on the urban ecology of migratory birds and species-at-risk, and co-benefits to biodiversity of Nature-based Climate Solutions. Stay tuned for new updates (and an eventual lab website!)
My involvement beyond academia includes applied conservation work, scientific communication, education, and outreach. I believe that I have an ethical and moral duty to be involved in applied conservation and management issues in my country and community. In turn, being grounded in the realities and the challenges facing conservation in today’s changing world has inspired some of my best work as a scientist.
