Current tasks

From September 2022 to September 2025, I am working as an Academy of Finland post doc researcher in Åbo Akademi. I am working on modelling the Baltic Sea ecosystems using Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and studying the impacts of invasive species in the Baltic Sea.

Background

My education is a mix of ecology and marine science. I completed my master’s in marine science in the University of South Alabama, where I studied the direct and indirect impacts of predation in the Florida Keys coral reefs. In my dissertation I concentrated on the various impacts and interactions of invasive Species in the Baltic Sea coastal ecosystems. Previously I have been working on ballast water management convention related issues at HELCOM and on invasive species monitoring in the Finnish Game and Fisheries research (now Natural resource center).
