 abstract: I am a research ecologist and statistician who uses advanced quantitative
   tools to answer questions at the intersection of fundamental ecology and applied
   conservation. My research aims to understand the factors impacting the distributions
   and population dynamics for individual species and whole communities, then use
   that information to identify populations of conservation concern and ultimately
   develop effective conservation and management actions.

I received my Bachelor's
   degree from Miami University in Zoology and Environmental Science. While there,
   I studied trophic interactions in freshwater systems. I attended Louisiana State
   University to pursue a MS in wildlife studying habitat use in secretive marsh
   birds. I then worked as a wildlife biologist at the U.S. Army Engineer Research
   and Development Center addressing conservation issues on DoD properties. Eventually
   I returned to graduate school at Oregon State University to pursue a MS in statistics
   and a PhD in Forest Ecosystems and Society studying the effects of forest fragmentation
   on breeding birds. I then did a postdoc with at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird
   Center comparing land-sparing and land-sharing conservation approaches around
   coffee farms. In my second postdoc (Oregon State), I worked  to better understand
   factors limiting the distribution of endangered Marbled Murrelets.
