I work as a conservation scientist at the Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative. It's great!
My research is pretty applied. For instance, studying where plants and animals live and the different ways that they respond to people and development, which in turn feeds into land-use and conservation planning, habitat restoration, and environmental management, law, and policy. I'm a big fan of science communication and outreach, including public talks and media engagement. Over the last 15 years, I've worked in research, conservation, consulting, and teaching across East Africa, western North America, and Central America.
