Brief Biography: I am from Wisconsin, and an early interest in fish and fishing led me to pursue an education in fisheries management. As a master’s student working in the coastal Gulf of Mexico, I developed an interest in marine and freshwater systems, as well as the phylogeny of fishes and teaching. In my free time, I enjoy herpetology and keeping aquariums.

Current Research: I am generally interested in fish ecology, particularly community, and trophic ecology, and how these can be used to inform management efforts. At the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø, I am examining the trophic structure of º£½ÇÉçÇø lakes, and the trophic roles of Arctic Charr within these lakes to help estimate the resilience of º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Arctic Charr populations in the face of climate change.
