I am a broadly trained wildlife ecologist with interests in conservation biology, wetland ecology, ornithology, toxicology, and environmental health. I incorporate both laboratory experiments and field research in order to improve understanding of how anthropogenic stressors may affect species of conservation concern. My current research focuses on mercury exposure in both birds and humans because mercury is a global environmental contaminant that poses a significant threat to the health of humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.
