I am an interdisciplinary Scientific Project Manager, Research Scientist, specializing in metocean and ice studies, with emphasis on tidal and offshore wind site assessments. My work integrates meteorological, oceanographic, sea-ice, and climate data to support a range of marine-based projects. Key areas of expertise include metocean characterization for offshore structures and floating wind farms, guided by international standards (ISO 19901:2015, ISO 29400:2020, IEC 61400-1, and IEC 61400-12).
I work across Canada’s coastal and marine regions, advancing triple-bottom-line principles by integrating traditional knowledge with in-situ observations, numerical models, and statistical methods. My experience spans metocean, sea-ice, and interdisciplinary field research, including in-situ marine observatory deployments (bottom-moored and AUV-mounted systems), offshore resource feasibility assessments, and regional strategic environmental evaluations for sustainable ocean development. My PhD involved helicopter- and ship-based sampling aboard the CCGS Amundsen throughout the Beaufort Sea and Northwest Passage, complemented by field experience in severe weather analysis (Miller cyclone classification, storm chasing) and upper-level meteorology using weather balloons, ceilometers, and passive microwave atmospheric profilers.
I am also a Marine Renewables Canada board member, and chair of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanography Society Vancouver Island Centre.
