About Me
Welcome!
​
I am an assistant professor at Trinity Western University in British Columbia, Canada. My research focuses the group life for a population of long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) that summer off the northwestern coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
After completely an undergraduate degree in biology at Trinity Western University in British Columbia, I moved over to the other side of Canada to continue on with post-graduate studies. My master's and doctoral research was conducted in the Whitehead Lab at Dalhousie University.
I also manage the Cape Breton Pilot Whale Project, which you can learn more about on the following pages.
Interests
Research Interests
​
My research interests lie in collective decision-making, social structure, standings and intraspecific behavioural variance in cetaceans. An important aspect of the work I do involves working with the communities around Cape Breton, to further public education and outreach. My goal is to connect the research I conduct to conservation applications.
