About
I am a biologist, geospatial analyst, and conservationist with over a decade of experience working in tropical and temperate ecosystems, including the Amazon rainforest, Central Africa, and Atlantic Canada.
My work bridges academic research, innovative geospatial modeling, and on-the-ground conservation efforts. I hold a Master of Science in Applied Geomatics from Acadia University, where my thesis focused on the conservation ecology of Eunectes murinus (Green Anaconda) in Peru, using remote sensing and machine learning-driven geospatial modeling. Over the years, I’ve taken on diverse roles, including serving as a research associate at the New Brunswick Museum, board director for the Amazon Rainforest Conservancy, and field station manager of various research sites in the Peruvian Amazon.
I’ve enjoyed co-authoring over 25 scientific publications, contributing to research on Amazonian herpetofauna and mammals, trophic ecology, and biogeography. Collaborations I am involved in have contributed to the discovery of new species, insights into rare and cryptic taxa, and advancements in our understanding of ecological interactions in some of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with researchers and conservationists worldwide. I’m deeply committed to integrating science, education, and community engagement to advance conservation outcomes and inspire the next generation of biologists. When I’m not conducting fieldwork or authoring papers, I enjoy sharing my passion for nature through public speaking and storytelling, drawing from my firsthand experiences in some of the planet’s most remote and vibrant ecosystems.
