I am a fourth-year student at UC Davis (Class of 2026) majoring in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology. Growing up in rural northern California fostered my connection with wildlife and a passion for preserving biodiversity. My current interests include wildlife connectivity and movement, animal behavior, and population dynamics. I have expanded my knowledge of wildlife through an internship with the UC Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology, volunteering at the California Raptor Center, and assisting as a wildlife monitoring intern at Cache Creek Nature Reserve, among other experiences. When I am not studying or working with wildlife, I enjoy running, creating scientific illustrations, and exploring nature.
