I am an applied quantitative biologist at the Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance (link). My research focuses on understanding the social and ecological processes that shape the resilience of marine, coastal, and freshwater fisheries. Much of my research occurs alongside Indigenous partners and government science colleagues and helps to inform collaborative fisheries management and co-governance in marine planning. Recent work has involved assessing long-term trends in Pacific salmon along the North and Central coasts of Pacific Canada, quantifying salmon harvest in a Nation-led catch monitoring program in the Central Coast, and identifying hotspots of rockfish, coral, and sponge biodiversity for Marine Protected Area Network planning. Typically, my work combines empirical and theoretical approaches to tackle a variety of challenges in applied ecology. In particular, my research rests at the interface of interdisciplinary topics like quantitative ecology, population dynamics, life-history theory, fisheries risk assessment, spatial ecology, human dimensions, and environmental policy. I also serve on the COSEWIC Marine Fishes Species Specialist Subcommittee.
