Personal Statement
I am a doctoral candidate in the biology
department at the University
of New Mexico under the
advisorship of Dr. Astrid
Kodric-Brown. I received my M.S. in wildlife ecology (2004) from the University of Arizona
and my B.S. in biology (1999) from Willamette
University. My past and
present research has focused on the social behavior and ecology of small
mammals including chipmunks, tree squirrels, and kangaroo rats. My current
dissertation research seeks to understand how ecological constraints (e.g.,
habitat saturation and resources) affect delayed natal dispersal in mammals.
In addition, I am examining how interspecific interactions are reflected in
spatial distributions of animals. My model organism is the banner-tailed
kangaroo rat (Dipodomys spectabilis),
a solitary species that forms primitive families consisting of mother and
young. For more information on my research, publications, and CV, please use
