I enjoy being outside and learning things about the world around me :)

I'm a current PhD student in the Arkansas Cooperative Research Unit at the University of Arkansas. I'm studying methods for preemptive & preventative management of aquatic invasive species in Arkansas.

I have an MS in Biology from the University of South Dakota, a BS in Fisheries & Wildlife (and a BA in German) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I also have a technician certificate in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) from Southeast Community College (Lincoln, NE).
