I'm a wildlife ecologist interested in how interactions between predators and prey shape ecological communities, and how these interactions are impacted by human activity. My work draws on behavioral, community, and movement ecology to develop conservation solutions for wildlife predators and prey in an increasingly human-dominated world. I currently hold a Lead Scientist position at Conservation Science Partners, based in Truckee, California. |
