I grew up on a farm in the small town of Brentwood, New Hampshire, located about 15 minutes from the ocean. After high school I attended Colorado State University to obtain a B.S. in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology with a concentration in wildlife. I have previously worked for Colorado Parks and Wildlife as an elk and mule deer neonate technician, Colorado State University on a lesser long-nosed bat research project, and New Mexico State University on a kit fox ecology project. In my free time, I enjoy getting outside as much as possible doing activities such as hiking, fishing, and wildlife or landscape photography.

My thesis work examines the impact of the recent outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus Type 2 (RHDV2) in New Mexico. In early 2019, RHDV2 spilled-over from domestic rabbits into native jackrabbits and cottontails. This work will address the extent of population declines in southern New Mexico and provide insights into the epidemiology of the pathogen within its new host populations.
