I have a B.S. in Biology from Portland State University and recently graduated with my PSM from Oregon State University in Fish and Wildlife Administration. Currently I work at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a Biologist working on endangered species along the Washington Coast, but I have worked as a Fellow for the USFWS, researcher for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife working on the State Wildlife Action Plan, working on the National Elk Refuge as a refuge specialist, as well as a program leader on a collaborative that includes Tribal, federal, state and local governments as well as private landowners and industry and NGOs. I have an interest in Indigenous Knowledge Systems (also known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge) and how we bring it into research and policy to give voice to the Indigenous Community that has been sorely lacking for too long.
