About Me
With extensive expertise in fisheries and ocean sciences, I specialize in transdisciplinary research approaches that encompass on-the-ground interviews, workshops with fishers, managers, and policymakers, as well as the development of high-level theoretical frameworks to assess fisheries from local to global scales. I am highly experienced in compiling and assessing quantitative and qualitative data in data-poor situations and creating complex analytical models focused on economic and socio-economic datasets. My professional experience spans NGOs, academia, and government sectors.
Recent projects include a socio-economic assessment of Peruvian small-scale fisheries through a human well-being lens, developing a collaborative community-based fisheries management guide for inland fisheries, and updating the global fisheries subsidies dataset. I have among others collaborated with The Nature Conservancy, Oceana, The Pew Charitable Trust, Coastal First Nation Great Bear Initiative and I have been working with the Fisheries Economic Research Unit at The University of British Columbia.
