About

IMG_2076.HEIC

I am a passionate wildlife biologist focusing on wildlife conservation and the protection of endangered species and preservation of biodiversity. I am originally from Washington State, have previously lived in Holland and HawaiÊ»i, and am currently based in Southeastern Thailand. I have a special interest in illegal wildlife trade, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, reintroduction, and using novel ideas to protect biodiversity. I highly enjoy working in the field conducting research as well as initiating conservation action. I work broadly with various avenues of wildlife management, ecology, biology, chemistry, agriculture, botany, mathematics, and zoology. I am passionate about the protection and conservation of endangered species and for ensuring the persistence of fragile ecosystems and animal species for future generations to protect and enjoy. 

​

 I have been continuing work on various field projects and am open to collaboration, consultation, and contracting.
