Biography

I am a conservation scientist and grassland ecologist who takes a collaborative approach to address conservation challenges. During my PhD and postdoctoral work, I gained experience managing national and global projects that evaluated grassland ecosystem response to grazing and drought. In my current role as the Regional Conservation Director for Colorado at Denver Zoo, I bridge ecological research with conservation actions to ensure a sustainable future for Colorado's grasslands.
