I'm a recent Master's graduate from the University of Wyoming with a focus in freshwater mussel and fish biology. I have hands-on experience in fisheries management and mussel sampling, and my research interests include aquatic food webs, understanding effects of invasive species on native mussels, native host fish–mussel relationships, and riparian habitat conditions that support their success. I love SCUBA diving, spending time in any kind of water, always am enjoying a good book, and (someday soon!) raising my own flock of chickens!
