Research
Interests: For my master's research I investigated
the breeding season diet of Leach's Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma leucorhoa)
at a colony in southern Oregon. I am especially interested in whether
diet composition varies between seasons and/or with changing climate
indicators (sea surface tempuratures and upwelling index).
Thesis: "Intra- and inter-annual breeding
season diet of Leach's storm-petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) at a colony
in southern Oregon"
Advisors: Dr. Jan Hodder and Dr. Alan Shanks

About
GK-12: My favorite part of the program was when, at the
end of some lessons, you can tell that the students have become interested
in and aware of a subject that they would otherwise have completely
ignored.
