Biography
I am a Minnesota native and proud graduate of UWSP. Between my undergraduate and graduate studies I spent time working with the WDNR in Peshtigo and Wisconsin Rapids. I am excited and thankful to continue my studies with the fisheries cooperative research unit at UWSP. My graduate work will help determine abundance and outmigration of age-0 steelhead in Lake Michigan tributaries.
