Research Focus

Hi! I'm a new doctoral student, and I'll be working with Niall Hanan in NREL (most likely studying the comparative ecology of agro-pastoral communities). I'm a native Baltimorean, but got my undergrad in Biology from Howard University (go HU!) in Washington, D.C. in 2007. I got my master's in Wildlife & Fisheries from Texas A&M University in August of 2009 (my thesis was Leadership & Management of Wildlife Reintroduction Programs), and I am excited to be at CSU now! My main research interests are the human dimensions of conservation, and the wildlife-human interface. When I'm not hard at work on my doctoral research, you can find me on the tennis courts, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, searching for sweet travel deals (I love Hawaii!), or out on the trails with my dog, Fish!
