I am an interdisciplinary marine conservation biologist who  researches on shark and ray biology, ecology, fisheries, and conservation. My research interests also include marine ecosystems, human-wildlife conflict, and wildlife tourism.

I’m one of the co-founders and the Director of Field School, an interdisciplinary marine science training and education program, and a Lecturer in Marine Conservation Biology at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Science.
