I am a wildlife ecologist who spent foundational years in graduate school studying predator-prey dynamics in the interest of helping augment our fundamental understanding of ecosystems. From that launching point, I have worked towards projects where I create readily applied geospatial and animal movement-based conservation products, for a wide variety of stakeholders.    

​

Of course, research is not done in a vacuum. I cannot give enough thanks to the wonderful people who have helped me along the way. As such, I have profiled my collaborators where I can to promote their amazing skill sets and contributions. Also, thanks goes out to my current and former students and technicians for all their hard work; for those that have moved on to greater things I hope you are doing well wherever you have ended up in life.
