My work focuses on the question:

How do environments and life-histories impact animal populations and behaviors in a rapidly changing world?

I am a PhD student in the Kauffman Lab in the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at University of Wyoming. For my dissertation, I am studying the impact phenotypic variation and adaptive movements have on mitigating climate and anthropogenic stressors. In this role, I work closely with the Wyoming Migration Initiative and the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration to build lasting relationships and facilitate early science-education programs throughout Wyoming and the west. I am particularly passionate about developing tools for managers to forecast scenarios and improve conservation planning.

Also, I work with teams around the world to investigate the processes affecting growth, movement, and survival in animals with otherworldly phenotypic and behavioral flexibility: deer mice and shorebirds.
