#introduction

I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow (#NSF OPP) in the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University.

I earned my PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (#NancyFosterScholar) and MSc from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.

I use #hydrophones and #tags to study #bowhead, #blue, #humpback, and #Bryde’s #whale #migration, #movement, #behavior, #ecology, #predator-prey relationships, and ship strike risk spanning the #Pacific Ocean to the #Arctic Ocean.
