I am a wildlife ecologist and conservation biologist with research interests in the distribution and persistence of animals within landscapes as well as their interactions with other organisms and their abiotic environment. I also provide management recommendations that balance human land use needs with the conservation of the animals and habitats they depend on. In addition, I believe education is a vital part of effective biological conservation and participate in many outreach activities. As I've pursued field studies in biology I have become interested in wildlife photography and enjoy capturing images of my study animals.
