The Arctic found its way into my heart after my first summer job in the Yukon. Ever since I have been fascinated by the beauty, the animals, and the people of the Arctic. I've spent over 20 years working with northern communities to understand the impacts of a warming Arctic on the health of muskox and caribou populations and the consequent effects on food security in the Arctic. My areas of expertise include wildlife parasitology, disease ecology, ecosystem health, arctic ecology, climate change, and community-based wildlife health surveillance. My energy is derived from the fascinating systems and people with whom I work.
