I'm currently a student studying environmental biology and geography at Ohio University. My research interests include: landscape ecology, camera traps, citizen + collaborative science, and computational ecology. In the past, I've worked on projects related to white-tailed deer and currently assist with small mammal research projects at Ohio University.
I initially fell into CS/programming through its use in GIS and ecology, but eventually found it to be a new passion I plan on continually developing as I continue towards a career in the environmental industry. So far, I've primarily worked with Python but am slowly building a proficiency in R as well.
- My capstone research project for geography, focused on the effects of spatial scaling in ecological studies using white-tailed deer as a model.
- A camera trap study looking at deer populations within Hopewell Culture National Historical Park.
Assessing the Effects of Environmental Variables and Landscape Change on Tree Stands at The Ridges Land Lab (repo)
- A class project looking at the distribution of trees within the Ridges Land Lab, Athens, OH and the effects of habitat variables on tree assemblages.
Birding Checklist for Hopewell Culture National Historical Park (view)
- An updated birding checklist that covers the species of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park.
- Based on a checklist dating to 1999, iNaturalist and eBird distribution data, and surveys from the NPS Heartland Network.
Building Accessibility at Ohio University (repo)
- A class project mapping accessibility across Ohio University's campus.
