Biography
I grew up in Baltimore, MD and spent part of my
childhood in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Since earning my B.S. at
Frostburg State University in 2014, I have worked in the conservation field
with Federal agencies and private organizations in New Mexico monitoring a
variety of species. Currently I am working on my MS degree studying black bear resource selection in the Jemez Mountains of north-central New Mexico.
