Research/Career Interests

I joined IWS in January of 2026 as a member of the Predator Research and Ecosystem Management crew. Our crew works to manage non-native predator species in an effort to protect native fauna endemic to San Clemente Island.

I grew up with a very outdoor lifestyle, spending most of my free time hunting and fishing in West Virginia. I decided that a career in wildlife may be my calling so I completed my undergraduate degree at West Virginia University in May of 2025. I was fortunate enough to work various technician jobs around the country through college and after graduation. Some of my previous experience includes working with Utah DWR studying native desert fish species in northeast and central Utah, and working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service analyzing bighorn sheep habitat, working on aquatic restoration projects and various other projects in southeast Oregon.
