Bio
I am a Banting and WCA Fellow within the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Waterloo. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Leiden Observatory (2020-23) after recieving my MSc and PhD from McMaster University (2014-20). Before this, I completed a BSc at Mount Allison University (Class of 2014).

Galaxy Evolution
I am an Observational Astronomer interested in the role that environment plays in the evolution of galaxies, ranging from isolated galaxies to galaxy clusters - the most massive bound objects in the Universe. My research covers the full electromagnetic spectrum, making use of data from the X-ray regime all the way through to the longest wavelengths observable from Earth.
