I was born & raised outside of New Haven, Connecticut, spending most of my childhood hunting and fishing across New England. I was introduced to fish & wildlife conservation at an early age and knew it was the career path I wanted to follow. In addition to research, I am passionate about environmental education, outreach, and volunteering my time to non-profit conservation organizations!

Research Interests: Spatial ecology & habitat use, native fish restoration, population dynamics, bioenergetics, behavioral ecology, & more.
