Biography

I am currently a master's student at Oklahoma State University. I am investigating the effects of hydrologic alteration on fishes of greatest conservation need in Lee Creek, Oklahoma.. My primary interests revolve around stream ecology, including: habitat use, movement, and invasive-native interactions of fishes. I am also interested in how hydrology and fluvial geomorphololgy affect stream biota.
