I collect and analyze Great Lakes zooplankton samples. I contribute data to zooplankton biomass and community composition estimates for the Great Lakes. I assist with monitoring for invasive zooplankton species in the Great Lakes. My research focus is on Great Lakes benthic cladoceran community structure and Great Lakes Bosminid communities.
