I’m a Landscape Ecologist focused on large-scale problems in conservation and how experts or stakeholders can be used to make better conservation decisions.

Currently, I’m working as a post-doc at UW-Madison studying connectivity optimization for Great Lakes fish (aka barrier removal). But I’ve also worked on distribution models for amphibians and reptiles to inform important herp areas and on birds developing techniques for spatially explicit multi-state/multi-habitat prioritization.
