Bio

I am a social-ecological marine scientist. I use an interdisciplinary approach, integrating ecological, social and climate data to research how climate change will impact coral reefs and coastal communities. Using this knowledge, I think about how marine conservation and governance can be used as a tool can create a sustainable future for both ecosystems and people.

I'm passionate about

Giving a voice to the ocean and the people who rely on it the most. Communicating science through stories 📖🔬 Adventures in the natural world 🏄♀️🤿🧗♀️

An idea worth spreading

The disappearance of coral reefs is not only an ecological crisis but a looming food security crisis that we will only start to solve by working with the communities that rely on reef ecosystems the most.
