What made you want to choose this career path?
I would say I fell into it and was pleasantly surprised that it fit me quite well. When I started dabbling in the wildlife consulting world in 2010, I never thought I would be a long-time consultant, but the sphere of ever-changing wildlife regulatory policy intrigued me immediately. It didn’t take long for me to realize that wildlife consulting was a bit of my jam. Working within the Western region on real world relevant wildlife matters is so enjoyable and gratifying.

What’s an experience that stands out to you from working at Grouse Mountain?
Pretty much every day in the field conducting avian surveys. No day is ever the same. The seasons, species, and landscapes are forever changing and keeping me on my toes.
