I am a stream ecologist and conservation practitioner, currently working towards my PhD with the Aquatic Landscape Ecology Lab (Infante Lab), supported to contribute to the National Fish Habitat Assessment. I am working to understand at broad spatial scales how human impacts (land use, water quality, dams, etc.) affect fish communities and their habitats, with a particular focus on mechanisms of agricultural impacts and spatial relationships between fish habitat and socioeconomic concerns. I have also worked on impacts of deforestation on stream ecosystems and community fisheries in Central America.
