Biography
Biography: I grew up in Ogden, Utah and loved spending time outdoors. I worked in health care for just under a decade and am so excited to swim into the world of fish. In my free time I love to travel, watch movies, and go on adventures with my two dogs.
Current Research: My research focus is aimed at gaining a better understanding of predation events on Atlantic salmon through mark recapture studies, historical electrofishing data and habitat analysis. I hope to develop a spatiotemporal model of predator distribution and predict the impacts of climate change on Atlantic salmon predation.
