Biography

In 2016, I received my B.S. in Biology-Field Biology Emphasis, from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. After earning my degree, I spent some time working for the Illinois Natural History Survey as a Fisheries Technician. While I enjoyed the time I spent in Illinois, I am thrilled to be returning to Wisconsin to continue my education with the fisheries cooperative research unit at UWSP. My graduate project involves monitoring the movement of brook trout in the Wolf River.
