I am graduating Colorado State University in December 2024 with bachelors degree in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. To enhance my education, I studied abroad in Todos Santos, B.C.S, Mexico for two months. During the duration of the trip, I competed a research project on how noise disturbance affects avian species richness around the Colorado State University Todos Santos Center. I also participated in public outreach with the local Todos Santos high school students. During my studies, I took a Field Mammalogy course where I learned how to capture and handle a variety of small mammals. Before coming to Fort Collins, CO I lived in Huntington Beach, CA where I volunteered at the Wetland and Wildlife Care Center.
