Began Conservation Science NRT Program Fall 2020

I was attracted to the NRT Conservation Science program because of the program’s commitment to engaged-solutions driven research, and my desire to become a part of the next generation of conservation scientists.

I received a BA in Environmental Studies with a minor in Biology from Fort Lewis College, and a MS in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources from Colorado State University. I am interested in the human dimensions of wildlife conservation with a focus on social-ecological systems. My current research will focus on the human dimensions of vernal pool conservation. I am also an avid backcountry enthusiast with a particular interest in fly-fishing and bird-watching.
