I recently joined the Center of Fisheries Research and Development (CFRD) as a fisheries technician and am also finishing a Master’s Degree at the University of South Alabama. My thesis focuses on the use of natural chemical tags to study connectivity of coastal sharks and demonstrates one can use natural tags to accurately infer natal origin. As a member of CFRD, I am involved in a number of surveys that monitor the status of local fish populations. I am also pursuing more focused projects that will provide detailed life history information for local fish species.
