About Emma
Emma is a master’s student researching the population demography of the Biscayne Bay population of bottlenose dolphins using mark-recapture methods and dorsal fin photo-identification. Her academic background is in marine biology, mathematics, and computer programming. She earned her B.S. in Miami where she spent her time conducting fieldwork on shark-tagging vessels and developing research skills in environmental toxicology and marine genomics. Emma has years of experience in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, managing wildlife monitoring data for National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as creating agency-wide dashboards and tools utilizing federal databases. An avid R and Python user, she is broadly interested in applying data science and quantitative methods to assess anthropogenic impacts on marine megafauna and to achieve international conservation goals.
