After graduating with a BS in wildlife biology in 2008, I spent 14 years living the nomadic lifestyle of a bear viewing guide in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia and wildlife technician throughout North America studying various species from spotted owls to spotted frogs with a focus on the elusive wolverine. In 2020 I landed in Montana where I found my niche promoting coexistence between wildlife and humans, educating people on how to mitigate unnecessary conflict with large carnivores and become less fearful of them, and encouraging all of us to view conservation on a larger scale. I currently work for Bear Awareness Gardiner as their Project Manager, and am a Senior Project Manager for Yellowstone Safe Passages.
