Exploration
FEATURED PROJECT
Follow Dory on her real-life journey from a reef in the Indopacific to a hobbyist’s home in Colorado Springs. This interactive, multi-media website resulted from a three-year effort documenting the global aquarium fish trade with a team of other National Geographic Explorers. I contributed much of the still and video content to the site.
Scientist
As a marine social ecologist, I examine psycho-cultural aspects of communities, in partnership with them, to develop context-driven conservation.
Photojournalist
As a photojournalist, I share stories that reveal our complex and nuanced connections to the natural world through both words and images.
Waterwoman
As a water woman, I love any movement that helps me know the ocean better, and I’m always seeking thoughtful modes of exploring.
Collaborators (coming soon!)
