Research I assisted Danny Hofstadter in surveying the woods at night for both northern spotted owls and barred owls. I drove the truck, used gps (when navigating to surveying locations), and gained some tissue collecting experience out in the field once some of the lethal removals of barred owls were completed.

Research I am interested in spatial ecology as it relates to the conservation of threatened and endangered species. For my master’s research I will be looking at the dispersal and detectability of barred owls in the coastal redwoods of California, a region where nonnative barred owls are prolific and pose a threat to the native …

Current Positions Education

Research I am interested in how shifting habitat factors influence species dispersal, migration, colonization and extirpation, particularly with regards to managing and conserving threatened species. My masters research will focus on conducting an occupancy analysis on an isolated population of spotted owl’s in the San Bernardino mountains. Previous researchers have conducted occupancy analyses using data …

Current Position Postdoctoral Research Fellow | University of Michigan Research I am interested in how predator/prey dynamics and interspecific competition, as well as other abiotic and biotic factors, affect species’ population dynamics and spatial ecology. My PhD research focusED on the mechanisms that regulate cyclic population dynamics in mammalian communities of the northern forests. Through …

Current Position Postdoctoral Research Associate | Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Wyoming Education Publications Google Scholar and Research Gate

Research I am interested in understanding how sensitive species are influenced by trophic interactions. I hope to gain a better understanding of species roles in ecosystems and ultimately assist in ecosystem restoration and species conservation. For my master’s research with Dr. Peery, I focused on which habitats promoted the acquisition of key prey for the …
