 personal_statement: "Amanda Kissel is a quantitative population ecologist with applied\
   \ experience in amphibian and reptile conservation. Her focus is on developing\
   \ population models and tools that managers can use to make informed decisions.\
   \ She\u2019s worked in a wide array of systems, ranging from montane environments\
   \ in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains, vernal pools in the San Juaquin\
   \ Valley of California, the Mojave Desert in the Southwestern US, and the Wider\
   \ Caribbean region. Amanda has worked with a diverse array of partners, including\
   \ the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service,\
   \ non-profit organizations, and international government agencies, and finds that\
   \ science works best when done in close collaboration with partners. Amanda\u2019\
   s current focus is on modeling population dynamics of invasive reptiles."
