I am a field ornithologist and ecologist by training, and my research interests span the fields of movement, population, and landscape ecology, as well as conservation biology.

I am most interested in understanding species/habitat relationships and animal movement, and how the behavior of a species is affected by human- and/or climate-induced changes in their environment, with the ultimate goal of generating predictive models and quantifying the demographic consequences of occupying particular locations.
