Fisheries Collaborative Program (FCP)

Welcome!

I’m an Associate Project Scientist in the Fisheries Collaborative Program (FCP) at the University of California, Santa Cruz and an affiliate of the NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center. I am fascinated by the intersection of science and water resources management. In my work, I strive to connect the ever-evolving science of hydrology and water resources to practical issues facing resource managers. My current work, a collaborative effort with my colleagues in the FCP and at NOAA, incorporates hydrologic, water temperature, and system operations models to explore the connections between climate, hydrology, operations, and aquatic habitat in California.
