"I am studying geomorphology at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO and loving it! I am learning so much about how river systems and watersheds function, and I get to be out in the field studying mountain rivers.

My Master's Thesis will focus on on the role of large wood and how it can be used in river restoration efforts on the Merced River in Yosemite National Park.

My time as an EBS student at UC Davis reinforced my love for the natural world, and I am always going back to things I learned while in the program. Biological Systems Engineering has been a great foundation for what I am doing now."
