Postdoctoral Scholar, University of Washington, School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University

Rebecca is a conservation geneticist whose research has spanned a variety of systems, from freshwater aquatic insects and native fishes to now expanding into marine bivalves! She particularly enjoys working in systems with direct management applications, where her research is often guided by real-world management questions and concerns. A central focus of her work is identifying genomic variation among populations, understanding the biotic and abiotic factors that shape that variation, and translating those insights into meaningful management decisions. When Rebecca isn't playing with sequencing data, you can often find her on a mountain with her dog, Louie.
