I am a population ecologist, broadly interested in understanding the effects of climate, land use change, and other factors on wildlife populations. Much of my research focuses on the development and application of statistical models that can be used to inform conservation and management efforts for threatened species.
I am now working as a Quantitative Ecologist for the Tucson Audubon Society, working on various research projects with partners at the University of Arizona and the National Park Service. From 2018 through 2021, I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Zipkin Quantitative Ecology Lab in the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University, studying population dynamics of monarch butterflies in eastern North America. In 2018, I completed my Ph.D. in Wildlife Conservation and Management at the University of Arizona, where I also received an M.S. in Statistics (2017) and an M.S. in Wildlife Conservation and Management (2008). |
