01
Mapping American Chestnut Species Distribution in Pennsylvania
This is my undergraduate senior thesis, using species distribution modeling to better understand American chestnut habitat in Pennsylvania to aid restoration projects. This research won a 2022 Falvey award and resulted in two peer-reviewed publications.

02
Mapping Large Mammal Movement at Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge
This is my research project from my time working at Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge as a part of an NSF REU with the University of New Mexico. For this project I analyzed an extensive camera trap database and carried out field work to determine habitat and movement patterns of large mammals living on the refuge
