Hi, I’m a Master of Science student in Geography at York University. I’m passionate about rivers, hydrology, and fluvial geomorphology.

I grew up on Dominica, the Nature Island, where rivers and forests were part of everyday life. That upbringing shaped my love for the environment and first drew me to rivers and watershed management.

I completed my BSc in Environmental Science in York’s Faculty of Environmental & Urban Change (EUC). There I became interested in how rivers respond to environmental change and urbanization. My undergraduate research in the Black Creek basin examined how hydraulic geometry changes downstream, tracking bankfull width, depth, and velocity along the channel. That project sparked a lasting curiosity about the links between channel form, flow, and sediment.

My MSc research now focuses on bedrock rivers, specifically hydraulic–geomorphic decoupling in bedrock channels. In alluvial rivers, channel shape usually adjusts to the flows that move through it. In bedrock-controlled rivers, that relationship can break down. I’m investigating how sediment, channel form, and hydraulic conditions interact in these systems, and what that tells us about how bedrock rivers work.

Outside of research, I’m involved in student leadership at York, where I enjoy working with and supporting fellow students.
