Bio
I am interested in how climate variability impacts the reproductive biology and behavior of commercially and recreationally important fish species. My research focuses on the influence of oceanographic conditions on Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) reproductive development in the northeast Pacific. I also research population dynamics and recovery of Red Hind (Epinephelus guttatus) at a spawning aggregation in the Caribbean. Before joining the Heppell Lab, I worked as a fisheries biologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Lab in Beaufort, North Carolina, and I studied offshore fish communities on artificial reefs as a technician at University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences.
