Degree:

B.S. Evolution, Ecology, & Biodiversity, UC Davis (June 2022)

Research Interests:

I am interested in aiding conservation efforts by studying animal behavior, especially in regards to the changing environment. As an undergraduate at UC Davis, I completed a University Honors Program thesis studying how anthropogenic factors affect Greater Sage-grouse breeding behavior and learned about fish husbandry as a Fish Assistant at the Dennis Lab at the UC Davis Genome Center. Since I have lived in Northern California my whole life, I am eager to work on projects that will impact native fish conservation in my home state. 

Since joining the Fish Conservation Physiology lab, I have assisted a variety of projects. These include working on larval and juvenile sturgeon endurance experiments, aiding Delta smelt supplementation efforts, and, most recently, working on improving Longfin smelt larviculture. I look forward to continuing to refine our knowledge of Longfin smelt culture techniques and support conservation efforts for these species.
