Degree: Master of Science
Thesis: The use of environmental DNA as a tool to augment sampling for fish community monitoring
Supervisor: Dr. Caleb Hassler & Dr. JP Desforges
Entry: Fall 2022

Research Interests:
I am interested in freshwater fisheries and aquatic biology. My research utilizes environmental DNA technology to sample fish populations on local waterways. The aim is to provide a more realistic number of potential species impacted by generating systems, improving environmental stewardship, and mitigation measures.

Biography:
After completing my undergrad biology degree at the University of Winnipeg, I am excited to pursue my M.Sc. through the same institution. The MESC program will allow me to interact and collaborate with people from various disciplines and backgrounds. This will be advantageous for me as it will ensure I convey my research in a way that is more approachable for those with non-science backgrounds.
