General Statement: I welcome inquiries from those interested in pursuing a Master’s of Science degree in vertebrate ecology with an emphasis in herpetology, ornithology, or conservation biology.
There are ongoing projects in the lab that might be of interest or students may develop their own research projects. If students are interesting in volunteering on the Gateway trapping project and getting experience in wildlife studies, please contact me.
New fellowship program called Growing Gardens, Growing Minds (funded by USDA NIFA grant) is open for undergraduates interested in sustainable horticulture and natural resource degrees. Grad student openings coming in 2026.
In in collaboration with Dr. Molly Bechtel, we are recruiting Master's student to begin May 2026 to investigate habitat preferences and disease prevalence in Lowland Leopard frogs. Funding for two years.
I encourage those interested to contact me and to arrange a campus visit so you are able to make a well-informed decision about what life is like in the lab, the ASU’s Applied Biological Sciences program, ASU’s Polytechnic campus, and the Phoenix – Mesa areas.
