I completed my undergraduate degree at Humboldt State University. My previous work includes shorebird surveys and conducting fecal DNA surveys to estimate black-tailed deer abundance in California.
As a Ph.D. student in the Epps Lab, I am studying pronghorn population dynamics and habitat use in Northeast California. This study is a collaboration between the Institute for Wildlife Studies, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Bureau of Land Management.
