Brief Biography: I grew up outside of Washington, D.C., and came to º£½ÇÉçÇø in 2011. After graduating from the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø, I worked as a wildlife technician and environmental compliance assistant at Acadia National Park. I primarily researched bats and bumblebees at the park, and I also worked with freshwater fish, seabirds, and amphibians. I returned to Uº£½ÇÉçÇø to get my master’s degree and studied Bridle Shiners, a minnow Species of Special Concern, in º£½ÇÉçÇø.
Current Research: I am researching Turkey.
