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.
