Brief Biography

I am interested in applied research related to the conservation of biodiversity in tropical forests and agricultural working landscapes. I am passionate about understanding ways in which both rural communities and wildlife can be supported within these contexts. I have worked in southern Costa Rica, the Galápagos Islands, the Peruvian Amazon, and the Chocó-Andino biodiversity hotspot in the Ecuadorean Andes and am seeking to continue to expand my scope within Latin America.
