I am a Wildlife Biologist 1 at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Douglas, Alaska where I study wolves in Southeast Alaska. I received my BS in wildlife from University of Alaska Fairbanks and my MS in wildlife from Auburn University. I’ve spent the last 2 years of my position as a wildlife biologist setting up a couple of research projects, which includes exploring the dynamics between brown bears and wolves at moose carcasses. I’m interested in community ecology and species interactions, so it’s a good thing I’m part of the predator-prey research team!
I think it’s incredibly important for Early Career Professionals to communicate amongst each other, but also to make sure to engage with students and mid-late career professionals to facilitate the connections between each level. My primary intention for getting more involved with the working group is to make those connections and facilitate the needs of each group to further the wildlife field, making it more inclusive and accessible.
