Bio
I am a Bahamian researcher located in Eleuthera. I’m currently the Director of the Cape Eleuthera Institute. There, my research program encompasses our facilitating the Open Science Initiative, deploying and maintaining our campus’ Data Acquisition System (DAS), and stewarding CEI’s data via platforms such as our Figshare repository.
I completed an MSc in Biology under the supervision of Dr. Erin Bertrand. At the Bertrand lab, my research area was marine microbial ecophysiology (the study of how organisms react to environmental change). I used meta-omic analyses and bioinformatic pipelines to understand how trace nurtient and temperature dynamics impact microbial function.
I maintain the Employment Equity site, which hosts analyses and visualizations for disproportionalities in pay based on race across the Canadian Public Service from data publicly available here through Canada’s Treasury Board.
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: Data for Good, 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 consulting or 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.
