Research Interests:
I am interested in conservation biology, population ecology, and movement ecology of birds. In a collaboration with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), I am looking how recent wildfires and removal of a nest predator, the common raven (Corvus corax), impact the various life stages and overall population of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the Virginia Mountains. I have been working with sage-grouse in the Virginia Mountains since 2015. Throughout my undergraduate degree at Boise State University, I worked on several projects including: four years on the American kestrel (Falco sparverius) project, a summer on the northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) project, and two seasons trapping migratory raptors at both Boise and Lucky Peak banding stations. After graduating with a B.S. in Biology and minoring in Environmental Studies from Boise State University in 2014, I worked for Intermountain Bird Observatory in collaboration with Fundación Migres in Tarifa, Spain trapping black kites (Milvus migrans), banding songbirds, wrangling flamingos, conducting shorebird counts, and counting the impressive raptor migration.
