Biography
I received my B.S. in Natural Resources from Cornell University in 2010. Following graduation, I worked with Dr. Duane Diefenbach and the Pennsylvania Cooperative Research Unit on a M.S. thesis using multiple data types to increase precision and reduce bias of white-tailed deer harvest rate estimates. My degree from Penn State University in Wildlife and Fisheries was completed in December 2012. In January 2013 I started working on my Ph.D. at Colorado State University with Mevin Hooten. My project focuses on large scale predator movement and connectivity.. I have a broad interest in applied quantitative methods to reduce uncertainty in wildlife management. My M.S. degree focused on combining data types to improve model estimates and allocation of resources, a theme I would like to continue in my Ph.D. I am also interested in applied ecology, specifically animal movement and connectivity.
