The overall objective of my work is to better understand, conserve and restore the ecological integrity of coastal environments. Restoration and management of estuarine systems require a multidisciplinary approach and understanding of bio-physical and socio-economic controls on management actions. As such, I take a collaborative and hypothesis-driven approach to addressing present-day management problems.

I’m a professional ecologist and geospatial analyst with extensive experience in restoration ecology and ecosystem-based management. I attribute much of my passion for the marine world to my upbringing on a family owned marina in Noank, Connecticut, where I spent much of my time fishing and exploring the coastal landscape.
