 personal_statement: Much of my research focuses on understanding the movements and
   habitat use of animals across the landscape and using this knowledge to advance
   the conservation of wildlife species. My work has encompassed the study of multiple
   species, including black-footed ferrets, coyotes, bobcats, swift foxes, California
   condors, golden eagles, turkey vultures, riparian songbirds, loons, sage-grouse,
   trumpeter swans, Mohave ground squirrels, and desert kit foxes. More recently,
   my research efforts have been directed towards the deserts of southern California,
   examining ecological questions pertaining to species of conservation concern.
   I am also interested in urban wildlife ecology and the use of non-lethal methods
   to resolve wildlife-human conflicts.
