Since childhood I have had a passion for the coastal waters of New England and their inhabitants, particularly birds and fish. With my graduate studies I intended to bring these two interests together in order to study trophic mismatches and climate change induced shifts to the phenology of both seabirds and their prey in the Gulf of Maine. My goal was to use my research to inform fisheries and seabird managers and other stakeholders in the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center region and beyond.
