About

My undergraduate degree consisted of a major in Biology and a minor in Secondary Education, with a focus on aquatic ecology research. My masters degree was in Aquatic Resources (Aquatic Biology) with a focus on aquatic biology/ecology, as well as endangered species and Habitat Conservation Plans. Currently working to manage the implementation of the Blanco-Cypress Watershed Protection Plan (BCWPP), focusing on protecting water quality and quantity in our local rivers and aquifers. "In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught." (Baba Dioum, 1968.)
