Bio

I am an undergraduate in the Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology and a Research Assistant in the John R. Durand Lab. In the Durand Lab, I assist with the Arc of Native Fishes, Suisun Ponds, and Striped Bass Projects. In Spring 2020, I received approval for a senior thesis evaluating the management of the threatened Sacramento Perch. As part of my thesis, I am currently conducting field work at three on-campus locations to evaluate how Sacramento Perch adapt to varying conditions and competition from non-native species.
