Biography

Emma received her B.S. in Wildlife Ecology: Research and Management, and Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 2016. . Emma is currently at Utah State University working on her M.S. comparing resident and translocated beaver ecology at desert restoration sites. She enjoys the interdisciplinary nature of the project, which has potential impacts in the fisheries, water resources, riparian restoration, and wildlife management fields. Her project title is "BLM & BoR: Utah Understanding the Dynamics of Beaver Re-Introduction for Passive Desert River Restoration."
