University of Nebraska at Kearney
Graduate Student

I'm a graduate student at the University of Nebraska at Kearney working on standardized sampling of age-0 walleye and white bass at Harlan County Reservoir, NE. I am an Iowa native and South Dakota State University graduate (2014). I love to fish, hunt, and camp in my free time. I have aspirations of a Ph.D someday and working in research.
