An EconoTimes perspective

PhD Student, Earth & Environmental Science, McMaster University

PhD Student, Earth & Environmental Science, McMaster University I am currently a PhD student within McMaster University's Hydrometeorology and Climatology Research Group working on transpiration, carbon sequestration, and understory vegetation ecology, of managed and natural forests in the Long Point Region of Southern Ontario. My masters research focused on temporal and landscape influences on bee communities and their ecology in Hamilton, Ontario. This work highlighted the importance of habitat variability when considering healthy bee communities and their importance in restoration efforts. My undergraduate research looked at the salinity tolerance of native and non-native plants within riparian zones adjacent to urban infrastructure. I have a broad research, educational, and professional background in geology, hydrology, entomology, botany, forestry, and ecology and their connections in natural and managed systems. I currently work at McMaster University as the Coordinator of Natural Lands Restoration & Conservation, managing restoration projects and natural lands within the Hamilton Region with local conservation partners.
