Scientific information is not helpful to anyone unless it is shared effectively, so I am passionate about making knowledge accessible to diverse audiences. Throughout my MS degree I presented my research at academic conferences, hosted webinars, and led an in-person event to share my findings with people who live in Denver and spend time in the parks where I researched. Particularly working in urban environments, it is incredibly important for me to learn what ecological questions are relevant to the people who live there, and share the results widely.
