Hi, Hello, Bonjour.
I am a transdisciplinary scholar focusing my research on urban ecosystems and visual rhetoric in science communications. I am currently a member of the Waterloo Wetland Laboratory, where I use environmental DNA and metagenomics to classify biota in stormwater management ponds in southern Ontario. My scientific and photographic work allows me to communicate stories about how habitat and infrastructure are intertwined. My research will inform municipalities about how stormwater management can coexist as essential urban ecosystems.
When I’m not working on work projects, I create media projects as an independent scholar, including writing poetry collections and presenting my research at conferences across the globe (and over Zoom). I find passion and interest at the intersection of science, technology, media, and design.
