I am a freshwater ecologist with research interests that intersect the areas of freshwater ecology, aquatic biodiversity, and water quality with a strong focus on providing knowledge and solutions to assist environmental managers, kaitiaki, and stakeholders in reaching achievable restoration and management outcomes. I firmly believe that an evidence-based understanding of fundamental mechanisms that shape ecosystem structure and function is crucial to inform the development of aquatic restoration and management tools that deliver intended objectives.
