Background

I am from Royal Oak, Michigan. A lot of my childhood summers were spent in national parks all over the country. This inspired me to pursue a BS in Fisheries and Wildlife here at Michigan State University. I have worked as a research aide in the Department of Epidemiology at MSU and the Department of Biostatistics and Research Epidemiology in the Henry Ford Health System while an undergraduate. I have also worked as a Biological Science Technician for the USGS. I look forward to studying population dynamics and honing my quantitative skills with the QFC.
