Conservation science with Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC)
I lead the national science and research program at the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).
That includes collaborations with >130 research partners across Canada and internationally, directing an extraordinary fellowship program for early-career conservation scientists, and ensuring that conservation practice and policy use the best available evidence.
More about NCC's approach to science and research here.

Conservation science with Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y)I worked as a conservation scientist at the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) from 2017-22.
The Y2Y mission is "to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so that people and nature can thrive". Y2Y collaborates with many researchers, practitioners, and communicators, and >450 partner groups across the 1.36 million sqkm Yellowstone to Yukon region. Our research included studying biodiversity and ecosystem services, protected areas expansion, supporting Indigenous-led conservation, the ecology and conservation of species at risk (e.g., wolverine, mountain caribou), outdoor recreation, and the human dimensions of conservation. More about Y2Y via their newsletters, action alerts, or on social media. Taking action really helps! |

Marine spatial planning
My postdoctoral research at the University of Victoria focused on the ecological, social, and economic outcomes of proposed marine plans and management in coastal British Columbia, Canada. I worked with the Natural Capital Project, the Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance, and leaders and resource stewards from the Kitasoo/Xai'xais, Heiltsuk, Nuxalk, and Wuikinuxv Nations.

Tropical forest restoration
My PhD research at McGill University was about biodiversity and ecosystem services in Kibale National Park, Uganda. I worked with Makerere University and the Uganda Wildlife Authority to study how logging, burning, farming, and replanting native and non-native trees affected forest regeneration, food for large and medium-sized mammals, carbon storage, and timber and non-timber forest products.
A compilation of theses and literature about forests and biodiversity in Kibale NP and Uganda are here.
