Research Summary

I'm a Master’s student in the Hulcr lab interested in digital media creation, behavior change, and the future of science content.

Currently, I am studying the utility of video and web media to encourage dead wood habitat conservation in urban areas. This project involves working with homeowners and arborists to decipher what makes a conservation campaign effective.

Education & Experience:

  • 2022 – Present: M.S. in Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida
  • 2021 – 2021: Research Assistant, Comparative Biological Risk Assessment Laboratory, Montana State University
  • 2017– 2020: B.A. in History, Montana State University
