I am Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia and the Hakai Institute, working with Dr. Chris Harley. I am particularly interested in the interactions between infected hosts and their communities, as well as the impact of temperature and ocean acidification on host-parasite interactions. I did my PhD at the University of Georgia, in the Odum School of Ecology, advised by Dr. Jeb Byers.
Research Interests: Marine community ecology, marine parasite ecology, marine invertebrates, physiological ecology, larval ecology, statistical design and modeling and invasion biology
