I am an environmental scientist, movement practitioner and advocate, and queer Black feminist seeking liberation for all beings. Throughout my academic science career, I have sought to understand both anthropogenic and natural influences on organisms, mainly fishes, using a variety of lab- and field-based techniques. As a professional runner and social justice advocate, I have sought to use running and movement as a medium of connection to people and place. Passionate about integrating scientific and cultural knowledge, I hope to foster a holistic understanding of ecosystems to address today’s environmental challenges.
