I am a wildlife biologist working primarily on in-stream and upland restoration projects on private lands in Northern California. I received my B.S. in Environmental Science with a minor in Biology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and my M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from Iowa State University. While at Iowa State, I studied amphibian populations in restored agricultural wetlands.

Although I am a herp nerd at heart, I recently, rather accidentally, became both a birder and a native plant nut. I am also wildly enthusiastic about bumblebees!
