Biography
I grew up in the town of Gilroy, California. I earned my BS from California State University Monterey Bay in Environmental Science, Technology, and Policy and after graduation in 2016, I proceeded to work along the central coast of California with endangered steelhead in various coastal riverine systems. My interest in North American fisheries took me to Idaho and Wisconsin before I accepted my Masters position here at Mississippi State where I will analyze movement patterns of Asian Carp in and out of Moon Lake. After graduate school, I plan to become a fisheries biologist for a government agency in the Western United States.
