Intern Altamont, Illinois Growing up on a farm in south-central Illinois, I attended the University of Illinois and majored in Ecology, Ethnology, and Evolution. While there I did research including aquatic work monitoring the success of Walleye stocking as well as terrestrial studies on small mammal population dynamics and landscape ecology. The spring semester of my junior year I studied abroad at the School for Field Studies Center for Wildlife Management in Kenya, and followed that with a Summer completing a Student Conservation Association project mapping wild horses in Wyoming. I graduated in January 1996 and hope to continue my graduate studies in Physical Anthropology working on primate behavior. Towards this goal I interned at the M.D. Anderson research center's chimpanzee colony taking data on behavioral studies. Soon after completing this I arrived in Australia to intern for the Fall and Spring semesters of where I am currently working on a project investigating holes in the distribution of lemuroid ringtails.
