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. Prior to coming to UVM, Brittany spent 8 years conducting research in the Rocky Mountains and was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Pennsylvania State University and the USGS Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative.
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
- Wildlife and Fisheries Biology
- Ecology, Ecosystems and Environment
- Principles of Wildlife Management
- Field Herpetology
- Conservation Biology
- Wildlife Disease Ecology
