Biography

I am a first year M.S. student in the Environment and Society Department in the Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. I am studying under the supervision of Dr. Anna Miller, looking at the integration of social science into state wildlife management agencies. Due to the recent increase of recreation on public lands, various wildlife agencies are being faced with managing beyond their original institutional mandates. My research aims to discover opportunities for state wildlife agencies to more effectively address recreation on their landscapes, evaluating the mismatch between state policy and on‑the‑ground management.
