About Me

Born and raised in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Completed a B.Sc (physics) in 2006, and a M.Sc (Environmental Science) in 2008. Currently persuing a PhD in physical oceanography. My research interests are primarily focused on Autonomous Underwater Gliders (AUGs) and their direct application to gathering data off the coast of Newfoundland.
