Project Title: Effects of baiting on black bear demographics

I'm a postdoctoral research scientist working with Michigan DNR to examine how black bear baiting in Michigan impacts black bear reproduction, population trends, and human-wildlife conflict. I've worked in the field of ecology for over a decade researching topics ranging from beach wrack nutrient leaching to brown bear habitat use. In my free time, I enjoy biking, cooking, and knitting.
