About me: I am an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in basking shark conservation, individual-based modeling, social science, and policy. I am passionate about multi-media scientific outreach and communication and have experience with marketing, web design, and content development.

Fun Fact: Tá Gaeilge agam! Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge le cúpla bliain anois. I have been learning the Irish language for a few years now. Despite no talent for languages, I passed my A2 exam in summer 2021 and am able to converse about my life and research at a basic level. I believe very strongly in the intersection between minority language preservation and environmental conservation.
