M.S. - Animal and Poultry Science, University of Saskatchewan, 2020
B.A. - Biology: Ecology and Systematics, University of Northern Iowa, 2015 Contact Information [email protected] Background and Research I'm originally from Iowa, and like any kid born in the 1990's I found my love for wildlife through Steve Irwin and by visiting as many zoos as I possibly could. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I spent time interning at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, IA and working as a field technician for studies on endangered wood turtles. I eventually attended the University of Saskatchewan in Canada where I studied wild pig spatial ecology. My projects focused on diel and seasonal habitat selection patterns in agro-ecosystems and potential transboundary connectivity along the US-Canadian border. My PhD work in the Conservation Ecology Lab here at SDSU focuses on identifying how population dynamics, habitat selection, and habitat connectivity of Peninsular bighorn sheep might vary in different climate change and land use scenarios. My research interests have always primarily been focused on how large mammals use and move about their environment. As such, I've always seen myself as a spatial ecologist first and foremost, but I've come to really enjoy the challenge and nuance of modeling population dynamics, and I look forward to exploring the intersection between spatial ecology and population modeling in the near future. I also have a large interest in species interactions and hope to examine the bighorn sheep-mule deer-cougar relationships of the Peninsular Range if possible (fingers crossed). If you have similar research interests or questions about the Conservation Ecology Lab, please feel free to reach out, I'm always happy to chat with prospective graduate students and researchers! |
