I am a Swedish-American nature-enthusiast with an educational background in Animal Ecology. I grew up in the United States, where I spent much of my time playing sports, learning the birds and exploring the vast diversity of North America\u2019s natural places. I also spent time in Brazil in the Atlantic Rainforest region as both an exchange student and a conservation volunteer. In keeping with my roots, I have most recently lived in Sweden, where I completed a masters in Animal Ecology in 2018, during which I studied the breeding season foraging movements of Caspian Terns in the Baltic Sea. My current research continues in the theme of analyzing remote tracking data (e.g. GPS) in the interest of bettering out understanding of animal space use. In particular, my focus is on using spatial analyses of seabird movements to improve schemes for protecting seabirds at important sites out at sea (e.g. IBA network). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
