My favorite science experience is difficult to choose—there are so many incredible moments I’ve enjoyed “in the field” studying wildlife and in particular, spotted owls. A clear and memorable high-point of my career would be working with a team of subject matter experts to develop a plan to recover the Mexican spotted owl from a threatened condition. That experience entailed bringing scientific information about wildlife ecology and forest management together and applying it for conservation purposes. Giving managers and other decision makers science-based recommendations for conserving natural resources has been a guiding theme for my career choice and purpose in this ever-changing world.
