BIO
Brittany was born and raised in New York’s Hudson Valley, where she spent most of her time outdoors on a family vegetable farm. She is excited to reconnect with the landscapes of the northeast after spending 8 years conducting research in the Rocky Mountains.
Brittany is a quantitative ecologist who asks ecological questions about population demographics and distributions across taxa, systems, and scales. Depending on the research question, she uses empirical data, laboratory experiments, computational approaches (e.g., simulation), or some combination of these to gain insights. She collaborates extensively with state, federal, and non-government conservation partners to generate inferences relevant to current conservation conundrums. Working with managers to design and interpret studies that directly impact conservation decisions is what motivates her as a scientist.
Courses

- Principles of Wildlife Management
- Field Herpetology
- Conservation Biology
- Wildlife Disease Ecology
Area(s) of expertise
Instructional program: Wildlife and Fisheries Biology
Research: Disease and population ecology, quantitative ecology, conservation decision-making, herpetology, conservation biology
