Summary

I am a spatial and fisheries ecologist interested in how relationships within and among species inform how we should manage marine ecosystems and resources. I am a graduate student in Steve Gaines' lab at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I use a combination of computer modeling and empirical approaches to investigate how basic species' traits like fertility and growth rate, and interactions between species like competition and predation, combine with human pressures to determine the structure and function of marine ecological communities.
