About Me
Biography
My particular specialization is birds, specifically raptors, although I have studied all taxa and have completed many habitat assessments. I am interested in the ecological interactions between all taxa and how the abiotic factors influence these species and their relationships. With California experiencing a serious drought I think it is a better time than ever to better understand these ecological interactions. I have worked with many species of birds in the United States and Belize.
Before receiving a teaching position at De Anza College I lived in Belize, Central America working as a Biologist with The Peregrine Fund on the Harpy Eagle Restoration Project. After witnessing the threats and little information known about raptors I founded the Belize Raptor Research Institute to give locals opportunities to study and protect their biodiversity.
Through these experiences I have gained to appreciate how critical education is. At De Anza College I teach numerous classes related to Wildlife Science and have the honor to teach such amazing students. I am the Lead Instructor for the Wildlife Science Technician Program.
