I am broadly interested in using noninvasive techniques to study different aspects of carnivore ecology. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biology and Environmental Science from University of Sydney, Australia, and my Master\u2019s degree in Conservation Biology from Lund University, Sweden. I first found my way to the Levi lab as a visiting scholar during my master\u2019s where I studied the diet, prey availability, distribution of predators and competitors of coastal martens in Oregon\u00b9. Now as a PhD student I am balancing a multitude of very exciting projects including the density and diet of jaguars in Brazil, developing a new noninvasive genotyping method using SNPs and next-generation sequencing\u00b2 and a multi-species diet study of carnivores in northeastern Oregon using DNA metabarcoding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
