She recently graduated from San Diego State's master's program with an M.S. in Ecology, where she studied the behavior of the red diamond rattlesnake, worked closely with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, and taught undergraduate lab courses. She is incredibly passionate about California's biodiversity and scientific outreach, especially when it comes to snakes! She now works as a Biologist with Rincon Consultants, but in her free time, she swims in the ocean, shoots landscapes on 35mm film, and keeps an eye out for critters everywhere she goes!
