Background:

I’m a quantitative scientist with a background in large-scale data analysis and field-based conservation. I’ve held postdoctoral positions at Stanford University, Arizona State University, and the University of Florida, working across remote sensing, decision science, and invasion biology.

Most of my work is applied. I build tools that feed directly into management decisions, whether that’s state-wide crocodile population models in Malaysian Borneo or invasive species risk platforms for the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission.

I’ve worked across four continents, from the lowland rainforests of Borneo to the subtropical wetlands of the Everglades, and I try to bring that breadth of experience to every project.
