I have been a biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) since April 2019. Specifically, my position focuses on the San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP). My role with the SJRRP includes providing technical assistance with the fisheries reintroduction and associated passage projects, and ensuring regulatory consistency with relevant federal laws and policies, such as the Endangered Species Act. Prior to joining NMFS and the SJRRP, I have worked at the State Water Resources Control Board (as an Environmental Scientist), at NMFS (as a contractor), at the Delta Stewardship Council (as a California Sea Grant State Fellow), and at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (as a seasonal fisheries technician) doing various salmonid monitoring throughout Northern California watersheds. I have a Master of Science degree in Natural Resources, Fisheries from Humboldt State University. My M.S. thesis focused on life history diversity and plasticity of fall-run Chinook salmon in the Shasta River, a tributary to the Klamath River. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
