I am a master's candidate in marine science with a background in ecology, policy, and marine mammal research. I earned my B.S. in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology from Colorado State University, where I developed an interdisciplinary foundation spanning climate change ecology, natural resource policy, and wildlife research. My early work included studying climate impacts on grassland ecosystems, contributing to stakeholder-informed policy research, and assisting with field studies on cryptic terrestrial species.<\/p>\n

These experiences shaped my interest in research at the intersection of science and management and ultimately led me to marine systems. I have since worked with the Marine Mammal Research Program at the University of Hawai\u2018i and the Alaska Whale Foundation, where I contributed to projects examining the ecological and physiological impacts of environmental change on cetaceans.<\/p>\n

My current research focuses on the foraging ecology of Risso\u2019s dolphins (Grampus griseus<\/em>) in the California Current. Using stable isotope analysis, I examine variation in diet across time and environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

More broadly, I am interested in how marine mammals navigate energetic trade-offs in dynamic environments, and how these relationships shape behavior. I aim to integrate diet, physiology, and oceanographic context to better understand the drivers of these decisions under changing environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
