BA in Biology from Hendrix College, Arkansas
DVM from Oregon State University, Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine
Current PhD Candidate also at the OSU CCVM in Wildlife Disease Ecology
My doctoral work explores host immunity across scales, from cellular mechanisms to landscape-level dynamics, using free-ranging African buffalo in Kruger National Park as a model system. I am particularly interested in how the intersection of wildlife, environment, and human health informs evidence-based management and conservation strategies. My goal is to eventually work within an agency system to bridge research and application, contributing to solutions that protect biodiversity while promoting ecosystem and human health.
