I use quantitative approaches and modeling to address conservation and management questions ranging from birds to invasive fish. I am interested in uncertainty and risk assessment and developing models and tools to help decision makers and managers. 

I am a Quantitative Research Biologist at the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in La Crosse, Wisconsin, working within the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area. As a data analyst and population modeler I have worked on a range of different taxa and conservation and management concerns. I am interested in developing models, metrics, and tools to assess uncertainty, understand systems, manage risk, and assist managers and decision makers. I have worked on conservation challenges related to birds, bats, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and most recently, invasive fishes.
