Position: Honours B.Sc. Environment: Biodiversity and Conservation, minor in GIS & Remote Sensing (Bieler School of Environment)

Research Interests: Remote sensing, GIS, Google Earth Engine (GEE), Python, R, sustainability, wildlife conservation, landscape and wildlife ecology

I am currently working on my honours thesis which focuses on using Google Earth Engine to geo-spatially analyze and estimate a local specie’s biodiversity. I am also providing user feedback to the lab on another project involving Google Earth Engine. After this, I’d like to go to graduate school but will take some time off first gain some new experiences (hopefully through work and travel).  

I grew up in Hawaii but moved to Montréal for my studies. I’ve been lucky and had some cool opportunities while being here including with another project that I am currently working on: The Macdonald Campus Pollination Meadow. This meadow will serve as a blueprint and model for how to improve native pollinator biodiversity and connectivity for wildlife in the local area.
