I am a wildlife ecologist with interests in mammalian carnivores and their conservation. My research aims to better understand carnivore behavior and interactions with, and responses to, human activity. Not only does this help us better predict future impacts on populations, it also allows more informed wildlife management strategies that move towards more peaceful coexistence.

I am currently finishing my PhD at The Ohio State University’s School of the Environment and Natural Resources, working with the Ohio Coyote Research Project.
