Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program:
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

I am originally from Pennsylvania, where I earned a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Penn State University. I have worked for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. I am currently working on my Master's degree where my research focuses on answering questions related to anadromous fisheries management and applying appropriate sampling designs to provide relevant information for making management decisions. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, backpacking and painting.
