I am interested in almost everything. My interests pertaining to coastal resource management include conservation policy, environmental history, protected area management, and waterfowl management. The purpose of my dissertation research is to identify in what capacity waterfowl management is integrated into the South Atlantic Region of the Marine Protected Area Network; and to identify manager perceptions of waterfowl management efficacy within the Marine Protected Area Network. I love to cook, practice yoga, read, paint, and camp.
