I'm a zoologist enamored with fieldwork and wildlife (especially birds and mammals). Originally from Chino, CA, I completed a B.S. in Zoology+ Painting minor at the University of Wyoming (2019). The prairies and vast blue skies of Wyoming became a second home to me. I currently work with Organ Pipe Cactus Natl. Monument through the Student Conservation Association (SCA). I'm lassoing lizards, surveying small mammals, and exploring the Sonoran Desert. I've previously worked wildlife field jobs and spent the longest time at the U.Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates (I have a soft spot for natural history collections). My interests encompass: academic research in wildlife ecology/biology and science-art collaborations. I LOVE hosting fellow alumni so don't be afraid to contact me if you're around Arizona!
