As a biologist, I have made it my mission to gain experience and research in a broad variety of fields. My interests are focused on ecology, conservation, and genetics. I have worked with private, academic, and government agencies on a wide range of projects and species; from ptarmigans to wolves, dolphins to bats. Currently I am working on my masters thesis with Dr. Karen Root at Bowling Green State University. I am researching the effects of human land use on local bat populations. My goal is to combine the various aspects of my past and current research into a job in management and conservation. I would like to continue working with multiple disciplines and species to increase my understanding of the natural world as a whole.

** I will be giving a talk Wednesday, April 11th at 2:30 titled "Examining Bat Activity, Diversity, and Distribution in an Agricultural Mosaic Landscape" in the Adams Room. I hope to see you there!
