Bio in brief...

I'm the founder / owner of Sea Change Health. I focus on marine mammal health, stranding response, medicine, consulting, and One Health.

I have a wide variety of clients - in my current position, I work with government, military, NGOs, and corporations. 

I have worked with the National Marine Fisheries Service investigating unusual mortality events, and worked at The Marine Mammal Center as a conservation medicine veterinarian. Prior to founding Sea Change Health, I was the director of the Hawaiian Monk Seal Conservation Program for The Marine Mammal Center. I have experience with international intergovernmental bodies such as the International Whaling Commission, and I am currently also a research associate with Fundación Oceanogràfic in Valencia, Spain.
