I'm interested in all taxa of life and have been fortunate enough to either work with or study quite a few. I've done conservation research with Running Buffalo Clover (Trifolium stoloniferum), conducted a woody plant species survey in an eastern mixed-mesophytic old-growth forest, and worked with bats & hellbenders, to highlight a few things. I studied wildlife management at EKU for my undergraduate degree and have completed coursework for my MS in biology at EKU, but have not yet completed my thesis (as of 10/12/2021).
