Previous Education:
M.Sc. Oceanography University of Connecticut
B.A. Biology Brown University
Research Interests:
I am interested in marine ecology. I am currently studying
the impacts of invasive species in marine fouling communities
and looking at what drives community resistance and invasibility.
To address these issues, I am studying the relationships between
biodiversity and invasion success and resource availability
and invasion success on different spatial scales in San Francisco
Bay and Chesapeake Bay.
Location of Research:
San Francisco Bay, CA
Chesapeake Bay, MD/VA
Indian River Lagoon, FL
