I am currently a PhD candidate in ecology at the University of Wyoming. My journey into ecology and science stemmed from growing up and working as a backcountry horse guide in southwestern Colorado. It was from the back of a horse where I first became interested in the complexity of relationships between humans, animals, and ecosystems.
My current research focuses on the links connecting animal movements, wildlife communities, and changing environments. In particular, I am interested in how individual behaviors and movement decisions scale up to influence community and ecosystem dynamics.
Outside of my research, I am passionate about increasing the accessibility and inclusivity of data science. Currently, I am facilitating a R Ladies group at the University of Wyoming and leading R workshops open to the scientific community.
When I am not doing science, you can find me outside mountain biking, skiing, or exploring new places.
