As a skilled Wildlife Professional, with diverse experience across multiple ecosystems, I am especially passionate about species recovery and habitat restoration. Working on the reintroduction of large carnivores has been most fulfilling. With 5 years of seasonal wildlife management and endangered species recovery experience, my experience is valuable to almost any wildlife program.
As a supervisor, with experience managing and training groups of up to 25 individuals, I am known for my caring and character building management style.
I am a classically trained biologist with a BS in Biodiversity and Conservation, GPA 3.81, from Brigham Young University and a Graduate Certificate, GPA 3.66, from the University of Florida (anticipated completion Spring 2022).
