I'm a second year Master's student in Tim Van Deelen's lab, using trail cameras and plane surveys to assess otter, mink, muskrat and beaver populations in northern Wisconsin. Originally I'm from California, but I love the snow, the people and places, and of course the cheese and beer of the Midwest!
