Biography
I graduated from Colorado State University with a B.S. in Wildlife Biology in December of 2006. Since then, I have been working for the U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife conducting field surveys and assisting with research projects involving various species of conservation concern both aquatic and terrestrial. Currently, I am working with Dr. Bill Kendall and Dr. Dana Winkelman on a mark-recapture project with humpback chub in the Little Colorado River, Arizona.
