Welcome!
About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University. Here at Michigan State, I am primarily advised by Dr. Gary Roloff as well as secondarily advised by Drs. Phoebe Zarnetske, Elise Zipkin, and Kendra Cheruvelil. With respect to research, I am broadly interested in species distributions, individual animal movements, group demography, and environmental factors, all of which shape wildlife population dynamics on the landscape. In addition to my research, I enjoy getting outside and exploring the world around us. I also enjoy sports such as hunting, fishing, hiking, football, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and basketball.

B.S. Zoology, with a minor in Environmental Studies, Southern Illinois University (2010)
M.S. Wildlife and Fisheries Resources, West Virginia University (2014)
