Brief Biography: I’m from southern New Jersey, just outside Philadelphia. My interest in fisheries started while interning at Ohio State. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and listening to music.

Current Research: My research will involve developing a method for assessing larval Lake Whitefish recruitment through the use of light trapping. This will be conducted within West Grand Lake.
