Biography

I am a Doctoral Research Assistant from Greenville, SC pursuing a Phd. in Biology. I received a Bachelor's and Master's of Science from Clemson University in South Carolina. I am very outdoor oriented with many of my hobbies pertaining to hunting and fishing.. I am currently researching the effects of prescribed fire on eastern wild turkey nesting ecology in the Ozark Interior Highlands of Arkansas. I am also very interested in the use of GIS and Spatial statistics to assess the effects of disturbance on wildlife habitat. Population genetics and molecular techniques and their use in wildlife management are also an are of interest in my research.
