Cassidy is a student at Arizona State University studying Natural Resource Ecology and Marine Science. She aspires to be a part of worldwide conservation and loves being outdoors, whether that is through hiking, paddleboarding, or bird watching everywhere she goes. She is thrilled to be a part of the banding team this year and have the opportunity to interact with all the amazing birds that are found in Hassayampa. Outside of bird banding, Cassidy is interning at the Arizona Game and Fish Department under the Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy (AWCS) team where she continues to learn, grow, and have fun adventures with different wildlife species. She can't wait to get back out there and see what species she encounters next!
