I am a wildlife biologist with an emphasis on integrating behavioral ecology and demography to conserve threatened species. My current research focuses on population dynamics of giraffes in the Tarangire and Serengeti Ecosystems of northern Tanzania. My research aims to improve conservation and management of giraffes and other tropical ungulates inhabiting increasingly fragmented ecosystems.
Previously I studied space use by small mammals and Burrowing Owls in grasslands, habitat use by Spotted Owls in burned landscapes, and demography of northern elephant seals and arboreal salamanders in California and Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
