Biography

I am a Research Scientist within the Fisheries Analysis Center. I've received degrees from the University of Tampa (BS) in Marine Science and Biology, Tennessee Technological University (MS) studying the impacts of bycatch on a commercial paddlefish fishery, and the University of Florida (PhD) studying mortality components within a recreational fishery.. Population Dynamics, Fisheries Ecology and Management
