| I received a M.S. degree in Biology from East Carolina University in 2004. My thesis research, entitled Critical habitat and population characteristics of American eel in Northwestern Pamlico Sound and Lake Mattamuskeet, NC, was funded by the North Carolina Sea Grant Fisheries Research Program. Presently I am a head technician in the Aquatic Ecology lab for an Ohio Division of Wildlife Project, Assessing the potential for differential contributions of spawning stocks to Lake Erie yellow perch populations. My main research interests include fish passage, management and life history of diadromous fish, and critical habitat assessment of coastal and freshwater finfish. | | |
