Biography

I am a Orono native. I was involved in a wide variety of Maine Coop Unit activities as an undergraduate and graduate student from 2006-2010. Between finishing my MS, focusing on the Sedgeunkedunk Stream dam removal, at UMaine and returning to work here I spent three years in Colorado working for the state native fish conservation unit and a consulting firm.. I am currently offering assistance and support for fish related Coop Unit research projects.
