I am an interdisciplinary marine conservation biologist who studies shark and ray biology, ecology, fisheries, and conservation. My research interests also include marine ecosystems, human-wildlife conflict, and wildlife tourism.

I’m one of the co-founders and the Director of Field School, an interdisciplinary marine science training and education organization, and the Director of the Shark Research and Conservation Program at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School for Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science.
