Education

Ecology Ph.D., Ohio State University, 2011

Interests and Expertise

My general research interests and expertise center around wildlife ecology and human-wildlife interactions. The two primary areas I explore these topics is with California condor conservation and hunting/foraging ecologies in the Global North. I use a variety of techniques including GPS telemetry, spatial modeling, field surveys & sampling, interviews, and remote sensing to answer questions about conservation, coexistence, and other social-ecological issues.
