The Team

I am a current graduate student at UAF interested in human wildlife conflict mitigation and community based natural resource management. I seek to use the lessons I have learned working across various human and ecological landscapes to reveal the nuanced perspectives of the people who live alongside wildlife, and the managers who seek to maintain wildlife populations. I have a passion for conservation biology fueled by a lifetime of backpacking, paddling, climbing, and recreating outdoors. I look forward to contributing to the Huntscape Lab and furthering its goals.

I am a UAF undergraduate student, going into my second year, seeking a bachelors in wildlife biology and conservation. Originally, I am from Washington state, where I grew up hunting, fishing, hiking, and doing whatever I could to stay outside. Coming from an area where people interact with wildlife almost daily helped start my interest in this research, causing me to want to dig deeper on how wildlife behaves in regard to humans. I hope this research helps me and others understand how humans impact wildlife, and how wildlife impacts us.
