I am a fourth year University of Toronto student specializing in Environmental Geoscience. I am currently working at the Geobiology Istotope Laboratory, analyzing sediment cores taken during Leg 123 of the Ocean Drilling Progam, and modeling changes in oceanic phosphate concentration during the Cretaceous period (specifically the Aptian).

Prior to this I worked at the David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill, ON, home of the largest optical telescope in Canada. There I acted as a summer student and tour guide. As a summer student I observed, digitized archival data and worked on calculating orbital parameters for Cygnus X-1, and a number of binary star systems.

I have also been part of the Analysis Team for the COBWEB project at U of T. COBWEB (Complexity and Organized Behaviour Within Environmental Bounds) is an agent-based open-source simulation software developed under Environment Canada's Adaptations & Impacts Research Division. I extended previous work on how altering landscapes affects population dynamics as well as carrying out my own research focusing on identifying the determining factors of minimum viable populations in ecology.

I have been very involved in public outreach and science education especially in the field of Astronomy. I have been an executive member of the University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society, as well as Co-Chair of the organizing committee for the annual Expanding Canada's Frontiers space symposium, the largest event of its kind in Canada.
