Hello!

Mae (they/she)

Marine biologist (MSc) turned science communicator, creative, and photographer based on Turtle Island (Canada). I help translate complex environmental and climate stories into engaging narratives, with a focus on marine conservation, ocean noise, and sustainable water systems.

Rooted in my Atlantic/“Newfie” heritage, my chosen name honours place, story, and connection to water, something that will always shape my work and perspective.

  • First-authored a peer-reviewed study on a mysterious whale signal (you can read about it here)

  • First-authored a collaborative Springer Nature publication on the role of NGOs in ocean literacy (open access May 2026)
