I am a conservation ecologist with a B.S. in Biology from Davidson College and a M.S. in Conservation Ecology and Sustainable Development from the University of Georgia. I have assisted with research projects involving reptiles and amphibians in the southeastern U.S. for 13 years. Most of those projects have focused around crocodilians, turtles, and snakes. Along the way, I have also collaborated with research projects involving birds, mammals, and plants.
