About

Welcome to my personal website. I am committed to working for wildlife conservation. I use a variety of techniques to study the behavior and habitats of a wide range of wildlife. Please feel free to explore my previous experiences and current projects. Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating or learning more about my current projects.

Currently, I'm working on Moose (Alces alces) project using passive acoustic monitoring in New Hampshire.
