I am a landscape ecologist interested in how changing environments impact wildlife populations, whether through direct mechanisms of habitat loss or more subtle changes to animal behaviour. Altered environments impact wildlife in many ways, and in a world of climate change and rapid human development, understanding species responses through data-driven insights is critical for learning how to share landscapes. My work spans several different system types and focal species, from polar bears and snow geese in the Arctic, wolves and caribou in the boreal forest, and urban deer in residential communities.

I am currently a Senior Research Associate with the Applied Conservation Macro Ecology laboratory at the University of Victoria. I work closely with partners at the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute, University of British Columbia, and University of Windsor. I also serve as an associate editor for the Journal of Wildlife Management.

Our solutions to wildlife management are only as good as the evidence supporting them, therefore I am a strong proponent of well-documented, quantitative approaches. If you are interested in learning more about my work, or potentially working together, please reach out!
