About Me

I am a marine scientist and programmer studying tropical tuna movements at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences.

This is the last year of my PhD so I am scoping out post-doc, state, or federal positions in fisheries management or movement ecology.  

My expected graduation is May 2023.  But I plan to defend in February so I have time to work on publications and job applications.
