| Introduction | I am a wildlife biologist with passions for environmental sustainability and conservation. I completed my PhD in Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I examined mitigation projects used to address adverse effects of industrial development on black bears. For my Master's research at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, I developed strategies to address collisions between right whales and commercial vessels navigating through the whales' feeding grounds and migration paths. Currently, I am working as Director of Expeditions, Life At The Extremes, in Washington D.C., for the National Geographic Society. Previously, I was an Expedition Leader for Natural Habitat Adventures (www.nathab.com). I led polar bear and beluga whale trips in Canada, Giant Panda and Asiatic black bear trips in China, and snow leopard expeditions in Mongolia. Over the years in my work, I have witnessed the effects of climate change first hand and I am deeply committed to working on related issues. *All of the views and opinions on this blog are my own and do not reflect those of my employer or anyone else. |
