ABOUT MY RESEARCH
Under the advisement of Dr. Cameron Ainsworth, I am pursuing my PhD in the Marine Resource Assessment program. I am interested in a career in ecosystem-based management geared towards fisheries management and marine and coastal conservation. As the negative effects of population growth and climate change increase, fishing pressures rise and living marine resources are increasingly threatened.
My research interests encompass the assessment and sustainable development of these marine resources. During my time at USF, I look forward to using the Atlantis ecosystem model to assess various fishery management strategies within the Gulf of Mexico.
