Even as a little kid, I always had a passion for animals. I spent many summers in rural Missouri identifying local fauna and developing observation skills that served me well as I matured as a scientist. I received a PhD from Purdue University in Ecology studying molecular effects of habitat fragmentation on deer mice.
