MS Student
I am a Masters student in the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Program at North Carolina State University. My current research focuses on white-tailed deer densities using microsatellite analysis. Before coming to NC State, I received a BS in Ecology and Evolution from Nevada State College in Las Vegas, Nevada. Afterwards, I worked as a Wildlife Biologist on military lands focusing on burrowing owl and small mammal projects. In my spare time, you can find me playing with my dogs, Penny and Nova, or immersing myself in video games.

Canine Supervisor: Finn, Feline Supervisor: Magic
I have two animal supervisors, Finn, a Cardigan welsh corgi, and Magic, a black shelter special cat. They enjoy eating, interrupting me to feed them, and chasing anything that moves. Finn and I enjoy hiking and going to the beach where he can bark at the waves. Both love meeting new people, and are thrilled to be in North Carolina.
