Biography

I (she/her) am a PhD student at the University of Alberta supervised by Dr. David Olefeldt. I completed a BSc in Environmental Science at McGill University, where I studied nutrient cycling in the Mer Bleue Bog fertilization plots under the supervision of Dr. Tim Moore. Currently, I am focused on methylmercury and carbon cycling in lakes, streams, and thawing peatlands. My work spans the Northwest Territories and Northern Alberta, and I have partnered with the Dehcho AAROM program to monitor streams near Wrigley, Fort McPherson, Jean Marie River, Kakisa, and Sambaa K’e. Outside of research, I am a council member of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists and president of the Circumpolar Students’ Association at the University of Alberta.
