Biography

Jamie received a BScH in Biology from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada before completing a MSc in Biology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada evaluating how local and global stressors impact the coral microbiome. She recently finished her PhD at Stanford University examining top-down control by consumers in both coral reefs and the rocky intertidal.

Research Area

Jamie’s research evaluates how coral reef biodiversity - from fishes, corals, algae, and invertebrates to the coral microbiome - are driven by anthropogenic stressors such as the loss of herbivorous fishes, nutrient pollution, and marine heat waves.
