Biographical Sketch:
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Montclair State University. My research focuses on freshwater ecology, exploring how biodiversity responds to pollution and climate change. I use aquatic invertebrates as indicators of ecosystem health, combining experimental studies, long-term monitoring, and ecological modeling. I am passionate about community engagement, leading conservation projects on urban wetland management and presenting my work nationally and internationally to drive actionable solutions for environmental challenges.
