I am graduate student at the University of Nevada Reno in the Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology (EECB) program studying the biogeography of woodrats in the Great Basin Desert. I previously worked at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Vertebrate Zoology as well as Community Outreach. I received my B.S. from the University of Utah in Biology with a focus on human-wildlife interactions. My graduate work involved natural resource science communication and environmental science. My focus is on mammals but I have a general interest in all things nature.
