Degree: BS in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology

Research Interests:

My research interests are geared towards salmon husbandry and conservation. Not only in replenishing the numbers of salmon in our rivers and oceans, but also restoring the genetic diversity and stability of populations, and restoring critical habitat. Also interested in how we can blend indigenous knowledge from neighboring tribes and western science to maximize the likelihood of salmon survival and the native people.

My current research focuses on building a captive broodstock system for spring-run Chinook salmon from the Central Valley. This project's concentration is on preserving genetic diversity within the central valley creeks and restoring population size, along with spawning adults.
