Nick is a senior undergraduate in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences. Nick spent the summer of 2025 assisting Johanna Stewart with her study of garter snakes in the Northwest Territories. As part of that work, Nick sent up a network of Automated Recording Units (ARUs) to conduct a survey for frogs inhabiting ponds scattered across the northern (and often burnt) landscape. He is now analysing that data for his Honours thesis.

Nick’s study area overlaps with the territories of the Fort Smith Metis Association, Salt River First Nation, and Smith’s Landing First Nation.
