I'm a wildlife ecologist with a passion for feline conservation. Currently, I am a PhD student in the Conservation and Coexistence Group at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability. My dissertation research focuses on the impacts of development on human-tiger interactions in the Nepal Terai Arc Landscape. My team's latest publication shows how tigers changed their movement behaviors towards roads during the COVID-19 lockdown. Previously, I earned my Master of Environmental Science from the Yale School of the Environment and a B.S. in Biology from Stanford University. (Pronouns: she/her.)
