Until April 2025, I worked on conservation and management of threatened wildlife. My research focused on using quantitative methods, especially demographic and simulation models, to improve conservation management. I worked primarily with birds (with a stint on monarch butterflies) and often around issues such as designing monitoring programs and informing management strategies.
In April 2025, I left federal employment at the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Science Center to embark on a new career. My USGS profile should remain available as an archive and summarizes my work from 2016-2025. Feel free to get in touch at the gmail address below if you have questions about my work in wildlife biology.
For perpetuity: Prior to working at USGS, much of my previous work was with shorebirds and seabirds in the U.S., and my PhD research centered around genetic and demographic viability of forest birds in New Zealand.
