I am a PhD student at the University of Tennessee studying the ecological impacts of introduced house mice on remote island ecosystems through the support of a Tennessee Fellowship for Graduate Excellence. On the side, I serve as a Board Director with the Friends of Midway Atoll NWR , Communications Committee Co-Coordinator with the Pacific Seabird Group, and create science education videos for Khan Academy.
Originally from Boise, Idaho, I graduated from the University of Idaho with a BSc in Environmental Science with minors in French and Wildlife Resources and worked extensively with the UI Sustainability Center. Since then, I have worked across the country assisting on various research projects ranging from long-term effects of timber harvest on avian biodiversity to avian dusk chorus community dynamics to endangered species monitoring. Recently, I completed my MSc in Biological Sciences at Northern Illinois University, after serving as Midway Atoll NWR's Invasive Plant Control Specialist through Kupu's Conservation Leadership Development Program.
