My research interests include identifying spatial and temporal patterns in both marine and freshwater environments, in particular how historical activities shape modern-day landscapes. I joined the Santa Cruz NMFS lab in 2011, after completing my masters degree in Fisheries Science and Geography at Oregon State University which focused on legacy effects of historical logging practices on streams. Presently, I identify spatial and temporal patterns of commercial and recreational fish catches from the years 1930s - 2010s along the California Coast. Examples of work are catch species diversity, abundance and extent through time and space. I also use GIS to help assist in various research projects, including study design planning, spatial data management, and producing maps for publications and groundfish stock assessments.
