Professional Title
Wildlife Ecology Researcher

About

Specializing in mammalian research, I have extensive experience conducting fieldwork across diverse environments, from California to northern Minnesota. I recently received my M.S. in the Integrated Biosciences program from the University of Minnesota Duluth, working with flying squirrels in the Mammal Ecology lab at NRRI. I was involved in a variety of mammalian research projects during my graduate studies and enhanced my technical expertise in radiotelemetry, remote camera analysis, statistical modeling to assess animal space use, habitat use, and behavior, and more. My previous professional experience includes working on the Isle Royale wolf project, conducting elk and predator research in the Southwest, and seasonal work with the National Park Service and USGS.
