Biography

I am a wildlife ecologist interested in how animals respond to global change, and how we can use this information to improve management and conservation outcomes. My research has primarily focused on animal movement, habitat selection, connectivity, and landscape genetics in the context of disturbances such as wildfires and human development. Some of my recent projects include simulating movements of mountain caribou and grizzly bears under different scenarios of human development and recreation to inform management decisions, and mapping genetic connectivity of southern Sierra Nevada fishers in an increasingly fire-prone landscape. Currently I am modeling the social-ecological dynamics of chronic wasting disease spread and mitigation across several states.
