What I’m doing in the REC Lab

I work to collect data on hikers using the Florida National Scenic Trail. Recently, I have gone to Big Cypress and White Springs to survey hikers at trail festivals.

Who am I?

Education and Background

  • B.S. in Forest Resources and Conservation with a minor in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida (ongoing).

The Details

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA but came to Florida out of a fascination with its natural environment. I like to frequent local parks and trails accessible by bike in my free time. I’m a huge fan of gators, both the animal and the sports teams, and being able to see them in the wild has been one of the best parts about my relocation.
