In 2021, I joined HawkWatch International (hawkwatch.org) as a conservation biologist where I study golden eagles and other raptors in the Intermountain West.
I have over a decade of experience in avian ecology and conservation biology, emphasizing long-term monitoring of bird populations, behavioral research and experimental studies of species interactions. My dissertation research focused on breeding birds and their interactions with natural enemies, such as ectoparasites, brood parasites, and predators.
My longstanding curiosity and love for the wilderness and its workings were inspired by my upbringing in Wisconsin - the birthplace and first love of John Muir and the inspiration for Aldo Leopold's Sand County Alamanac. As such, I strive to undertake projects in avian ecology that will improve our understanding of how birds interact with changing biotic and abiotic environments and inform our approach to conservation practices. I believe in our duty as stewards of the environment and advocates for the natural world.
