WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST
I developed a passion for wildlife and desire to conserve our natural resources from exploring riparian habitat behind my childhood home in the Bay Area. I was always the one to lift logs or look under rocks for the chance to encounter interesting critters to study. This passion has stayed with me and fueled my career in wildlife biology. Developing an extensive professional skillset has allowed me to apply my knowledge in finding the best solution to a wide range of complex issues regarding our natural resources. Important qualities such as communication, collaboration, and understanding are key to a successful project.
