Welcome to my personal research website! I am currently a PhD student in Dr. Dave Koons' lab at Colorado State University. I am broadly interested in population ecology, private lands conservation, wetland ecology, and waterfowl ecology. My overarching goals are to instigate productive discussions across agencies and stakeholders and provide a rigorous scientific foundation to effectively guide increasingly limited conservation dollars. My current research focuses on waterfowl population ecology within a flood-irrigated agricultural system. Specifically, I study whether directing conservation funding towards improving irrigation infrastructure on private lands influences waterfowl productivity, habitat use, and recruitment.
