Bio
I am a Bahamian researcher located in Vancouver, BC on unceeded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territory. I’m currently the data products steward for the Pacific Data Stewardship Unit (DSU) at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. As data products steward, I build data pipelines that ensure internal access to important ecological datasets.
I completed an MSc in Biology under the supervision of Dr. Erin Bertrand. My research there focused on marine microbial ecophysiology and trace nutrient dynamics.
When I’m not writing up a script, you can often find me cycling, cooking, or teaching. I’m passionate about getting young people excited about science and providing access to information, tools, and skills that spark scientific creativity.
Interests: Marine Ecology, Science Communication, Equity and Inclusivity, Climate Justice, Scientific Computing
Inquiries
If you have questions about my work or are interested in collaborating, feel free to contact me. I am always interested in discussing data science workshop offerings.
Mentorship
I am open to acting as a mentor to youth navigating a career in science when I have the capacity. If you are part of a group which has historically been excluded from STEM and are seeking a mentor, please reach out via email with a short introduction about yourself.
