Bio/Research

I received my PhD in Environmental Toxicology and Physiology from McMaster University in 2013. Prior to joining Laurier, I was a NSERC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Guelph in the Department of Integrative Biology, a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University studying chemosensing mechanisms that underlie cardiorespiratory reflexes in mammals, and a postdoctoral fellow at Environment and Climate Change Canada studying the ecotoxicology of freshwater mussels and turtles.

The Anthropocene marks the commencement of significant human impact on Earth's ecosystems. Aquatic animals (fish, insects, and molluscs) are overwhelmed with environmental stressors such as anthropogenic inputs and climate change. In our lab, we investigate how the physiology of these animals are impacted by these stressors and create solutions to help them continue to thrive.
