Biography

I graduated from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas with my bachelor's in 2021. After graduating, I worked as a fisheries technician for a few years in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Missouri to gain additional research experience. These experiences allowed me to see some amazing country, meet some great people, and gain valuable insight into the world of fisheries science. Since then, I have accepted masters project at Utah State University and am currently studying a potential thiamine deficiency in the Weber River of Utah.
