   intro_statements:
   - I am a fish biologist based out of the Hammond Bay Biological Station in Millersburg,
     MI. My research interests lie in better understanding fish ecology, behavior,
     and physiology to inform the management and restoration of native species in
     the Great Lakes basin.

   personal_statement: I began working at the Great Lakes Science Center - Hammond
     Bay Biological Station in 2022, following the completion of my M.S. at Michigan
     State University where I studied the spatial and thermal ecology of lake trout
     (Salvelinus namaycush). My research focuses on conducting science to inform
     and support the management of native species. Currently, I study fish movement
     ecology, behavior, and population structure, often using acoustic telemetry
     tracking technology, and investigate improvements to the application of fish
     tracking technology in the Great Lakes.
