I am a Professor of Integrative Physiology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Department of Biology and Wildlife and the Institute of Arctic Biology, where I have been working on the trophic interactions, population endocrinology, and conservation of seabirds and marine mammals since 2003.

I received my doctorate degree in 1996 from the UC Irvine Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology for conducting a study of seabird responses to climate change under the mentorship of Professor George Hunt. Then I was a post-doctoral fellow (1997-2000) with Professor John Wingfield and a research faculty member (2001-2003) at the University of Washington, Department of Zoology.
