I am an assistant research scientist with Texas A&M’s Natural Resources Institute, adopted into Dr. Fieberg’s lab as I work remotely from Minnesota. I work with the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s southeastern region and other experts across state agencies, universities, and other organizations, to lead the development of Species Status Assessments (SSAs) for federally threatened and endangered species.

I am a PhD student co-advised by John Fieberg and David Andersen (MN Coop Unit). My research interests include investigating the drivers of animal movement and applying quantitative methods to inform wildlife management and conservation. My current grad research looks at multiple aspects of trumpeter swan movement ecology, genetics, and ecotoxicology. For more information on the swan project go to: https://trumpeterswan.netlify.app/.
