I am a wildlife biologist with expertise in bat biology, urban ecology, conservation biology, and landscape ecology. My research engages diverse stakeholders and addresses the bat conservation crisis in relation to anthropogenic changes via interdisciplinary approaches. Currently I teach both undergraduate and graduate level courses such as Introductory Biology II, Urban Ecology, Data Visualization and Presentation at UNO.
