I am a biogeochemist (biology + geology + chemistry) interested in the connections between terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My Ph.D. thesis examined the impacts of accelerated glacial melt on the biogeochemistry of freshwater systems within the Lake Hazen watershed, located in Quttinirpaaq National Park, the most northerly national park in Canada.
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries with the Hakai Institute's Watersheds Program, looking at the influence of freshwater nutrient fluxes from B.C.'s coastal temperate rainforests on nearshore marine biogeochemistry and productivity. From the bottom of High Arctic lakes to the meadows of South Greenland, the oilsands developments of northern Alberta and now B.C.'s Central Coast, I look to understand both the natural functioning of and human impact on (direct and indirect) the function of north temperate and polar ecosystems. In my free time, I am passionate about health and fitness and the outdoors and love to cook and travel. I am fluently bilingual in English and French. I gratefully acknowledge that this research has taken place on the territories of the Inuit, Kalaalisut, Wuikinukv and Heiltsuk peoples.
