Amber Wright
Associate Professor
I was born and raised in Honolulu, and while my local roots do not go deep (my mom is from the Philippines and my dad is from New York), I have a very strong sense of place and connection to Hawai'i. I grew up catching green anoles as a kid in town in the '80s (before brown anoles and day geckos spread). I left at 18 for school on the mainland, spent 18 years there, then, by amazing luck, I got a job back home. My current research focuses on taking advantage of our non-native herp and mammal fauna to address fundamental ecological questions regarding how species interact with each other and their environment.
