Biography

For my Spring 2018 Undergraduate Research Opportunity, I used data from camera traps to explore temporal and spatial portioning among carnivore species in northern Minnesota, with mentorship from John Fieberg and Fabiola Iannarilli. I am currently finishing my senior year at the UMN studying Fisheries, Wildlife, & Conservation Biology. Post-baccalaureate, I plan on gaining more field experiences before diving into graduate school. When I’m not studying, I enjoy photography, reading, and hiking.

I study how watershed and lake features influence transitions between clear and turbid states in shallow lakes. My current projects involve classifying lake states and estimating critical nutrient levels that differentiate highly resilient clear lakes, highly resilient turbid lakes, and lakes that may switch between states due to system perturbations.
