I'm a PhD Candidate at UC Davis focusing on avian reproductive ecology, behavior, and migration. I've been a Wildlife Biologist at USGS for 10+ years researching a variety of listed and sensitive species. I have an MS in avian sciences from UC Davis and a BS from Towson University in Biology. Birding is my primary hobby, but I dabble in herpetology, botany, and I'm working on being a general naturalist.
