Thanks for visiting my page! I am interested in examining how terrestrial vertebrates respond to increasing human influences. Particularly, I want to examine how human structures, settlements, and companion animals might impact community ecosystems. Currently, I'm working on the Santa Cruz Puma Project in the Bay Area of California. If you are interested in learning about mountain lions, please send me an email! Check out some pictures from my research on my CarnivoreCam tumblr. Previously, I have studied predators of the bridled nailtail wallaby, the most endangered macropod in the world, in Queensland, Australia. 

I am also currently a National Science Foundation GK-12 fellow working with students from Watsonville High School on a program called SCWIBLES. I have a strong interest in bridging the communication gap between scientists, policy makers and citizens. I hope to work with local politicians regarding climate change and conservation issues, and continue my work in environmental education with local school and youth groups.
