I am currently a 2nd year master’s student at Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks studying black bear hibernation. My background includes large mammal research like moose, deer, and bears, but I love to get my hands on any critter when there’s an opportunity! I am the Student Representative for the New York State Chapter, a Graduate Advisor for the Paul Smith’s College Chapter, and a member of the Leadership Institute Committee in addition to my SDWG duties. I am looking forward to creating resources that will be useful for students in both undergraduate and graduate programs so that they can be successful and confident in their abilities. In addition to duties with TWS, I enjoy spending my free time coaching and playing volleyball, working out, knitting, and reading.
