Affiliations
My graduate research is focused on evaluating bird communities of constructed nutrient treatment wetlands across Iowa. Through my research, I hope to better understand the role these wetlands provide in supporting birds of conservation concern and improving water quality of surface waters across the state. I am also interested in pairing science with public engagement to support conservation of wildlife and aquatic systems.
