Ecology
Below are some highlights from my work as an ecologist/biologist
Wild Turkey Habitat Ecology
M.Sc. Student | 2022-current
I'm currently studying roosting habitat ecology of a local population of Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Turkeys fly up to tree branches, where they sleep during the night. I'm interested to know what makes a good roost tree in the eyes of a turkey, and if things like weather have any influence on a turkey's choice of roost tree
Reptiles and Roads
Species at Risk Technician | 2020, 2021
While working with the Georgian Bay Biosphere, I assisted with a collaborative conservation program called Maamwi Anjiakiziwin. Within the program, I assisted with road ecology research and a turtle conservation program. This work helps to understand and mitigate negative effects of roads on local reptile populations.
Eastern Whip-poor-will Habitat Preferences
Field technician and co-author | 2019, 2020
In 2019, I worked as a field technician on a project focused on Eastern Whip-poor-wills. I later contributed to a paper in which we compared daytime and nighttime habitat preferences of the Eastern Whip-poor-will, arguably the coolest avian species at risk in Ontario. Many thanks to my co-authors for their contributions.
I am an ecologist who enjoys combining my interest in nature with my creative hobbies.
I love looking for wildlife and spending time outdoors, so it's not surprising that nature is a prominent theme in my creative work, too.
I'm based in Ontario, Canada.
