I am a freshwater ecologist and conservation scientist exploring how anthropogenic stressors affect biodiversity and ecosystem services in inland aquatic ecosystems. I use both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to integrate social, ecological, and environmental data to understand the vulnerability of these systems to environmental change.
My PhD research at McGill University focused on the effects of climate change on the fisheries of the Lake Victoria basin in East Africa, and earlier work explored how various stressors and social-ecological factors affect fish behaviour and ecology, food web dynamics, and fisheries management practices in field sites from northern California (USA) to British Columbia (Canada), and Uganda (East Africa). My post-doctoral work at Carleton University explores the knowledge-action gap in the creating evidence-informed policies for environmental conservation across Canada. |
