I am a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) and am working to examine the diets and foraging habitat of Antarctic penguins using stable isotope analysis. By using the principle of "you are what you eat" my research estimates penguin diets by studying the isotopic composition of tissues such as eggshells and feathers.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, I received my B.S. in Marine Biology at UNCW in 2001. Before working in the Antarctic, I studied marine birds at remote field camps along the coast of California and Alaska for both nonprofit and governmental agencies. I now reside in Wilmington, NC where I spend my free time fishing, birding and playing pub trivia.
