Welcome!
I am currently a master's student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, researching stream fish species vulnerability to climate and land use changes, as well as the role of conservation networks in protecting Missouri's stream fish species. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I earned a B.S. in Entomology and Biological Aspects of Conservation, with a certificate in Environmental Studies. I grew up near Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and love fishing, skiing, playing and watching sports, hunting, swimming, and just about anything that gets me into the outdoors.
