I am originally from Memphis, TN but now live in Bloomington, Indiana where I am completing my Master of Environmental Science with a concentration in Ecology and Conservation. During my B.S. at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I conducted field research on bottlenose dolphins, tree swallows, and carpenter bees. I am particularly interested in conservation behavior and how understanding animal behavior can improve wildlife management, as well as the role zoos play in wildlife conservation! When I am not working, I can be found kayaking, reading, painting, or geeking out over cool animals. I am thrilled to be serving as the Early Career Professional Liaison.
