     I am a microbial ecologist, my research interests include: marine microbial ecology, microbial interactions, microbe-host interactions, microbial oceanography, and pelagic interactions. My most recent work has been on elucidating the complex interactions occurring between a marine microalga (Emiliania huxleyi) and its bacterial symbiont (Phaeobacter inhibens). 

     I recently graduated with a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Alberta, Canada. My M.Sc. and previous research focused on investigating the microbial consortia of the sub-glacial lakes of the SW Yukon Territory and the perennially ice-covered lakes of Antarctic Dry Valleys.
