ABOUT

                                     Welcome to my site!
I am a Conservation biologist and recently accepted a position at Denver Zoo as their Regional Conservation Director for Africa.  I conducted collaborative research in the Tsavo Ecosystem of Kenya intermittently for over 6 years. I studied African elephant behavior, movement, and community-based coexistence and management among my MANY other varied research interests. You can read more about my ongoing projects under the research tab.


I recently relocated to Denver and in my (rare) spare time I also enjoy photography, mountain biking, and anything else outdoors. You can see some of my photography in the corresponding tab.


Feel free to follow me on social media or reach out and say hello; I love connecting with other scientists!
