Biography
I am an Idaho native and have lived here all my life. After graduating high school in Middleton I pursued a college degree in Environmental Science with a minor in Spanish at the University of Idaho. My junior year in college I studied abroad in Costa Rica for 1 year studying tropical marine biology. After graduating college in 2010 I worked for Idaho Department of Fish and Game first in Nampa Idaho and then later transferred to Lewiston Idaho. I returned to University of Idaho in January of 2012 to pursue a M.S. in fisheries resources working with invasive species under the mentoring of Dr. Christine Moffitt.
