I am an ecologist, conservationist, and wildlife researcher with a specialty in raptors and herpetology. I currently study Aplomado Falcons (Falco femoralis septentrionalis) in Texas, and assist with a statewide assessment of alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii). Additionally, I have worked on research projects in Southeast Asia studying the spatial ecology of king cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) and Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus).
