I am the Extramural Project Specialist for OAP. In this role, I coordinate OAP’s external research portfolio, support OAP program management, and represent the program to other NOAA offices and the extramural research community. Additionally, I serve as the National Coastal Acidification Network (CAN) Coordinator, supporting CAN-led stakeholder engagement and capacity building efforts. Lastly, I also manage OAP’s bilateral relationship with Fisheries and Ocean Canada (DFO) to foster transboundary collaboration on OA. In my free time you find me out and about adventuring with my husband and rescue pup,Taco.
