Marine conservationist, GIS analyst, and U.S. Marine Corps veteran dedicated to protecting ecosystems and applying science to solve real-world problems. I bring 9 years of military leadership experience and advanced training at Cornell University (B.S. Biological Sciences, M.P.S. in Natural Resources & Environment, Risk Analysis & Management). My work blends technical analysis, field ecology, and risk management to support conservation and environmental decision-making. Key experiences include: Hudson River Sturgeon Project – GIS-based habitat and risk analysis to guide conservation of an endangered species. Reef Ecology – Cross-ocean research on triggerfish foraging behavior as potential reef health indicators. Marine Bioacoustics – Acoustic monitoring of marine mammals in the Pacific and Caribbean to inform species protection. Predictive Modeling – Mesophotic reef mapping using GIS and remote sensing to support marine spatial planning. I thrive at the intersection of science, conservation, and strategy— whether with NGOs, consulting firms, or government agencies. My goal is to deliver actionable insights that help protect biodiversity and strengthen communities.
