I am a Hakai Coastal Initiative Postdoctoral Scholar affiliated with the Biodiversity Research Centre at the University of British Columbia and the Earth to Ocean research group at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. I am a community ecologist, entomologist, natural historian, teacher and communicator. The most recent outlet for my curiosity about the natural world is Canada’s incredible invertebrate fauna. I use them to uncover patterns of biodiversity and ecological function, and to figure out the environmental, spatial, or climatic drivers that might be responsible.
