About me
I am a doctoral student in the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research at the University of Florida. I am studying life-history theory and the evolution of aging in Professor Karen Bjorndal’s lab. I hold a M.Sc. in wildlife conservation from Trinity College Dublin.
I currently research reproductive senescence in sea turtles, and I am particularly interested in the intersection between foraging ecology and the rate of aging. I approach my research through a statistical framework.
While, for the most part, my focus has been on sea turtles, I am deeply interested in population modeling and its application to wildlife conservation. I feel by understanding the underlying mathematics of biological systems you gain a deeper insight into the nuts and bolts of how these systems function.
I have worked in various roles on multiple projects, both governmental and non-governmental, around the world. These include ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, Reef HQ, The Great Barrier Reef Aquarium, and the Sea Turtle Conservancy.
