Outreach and Education

Outreach is an extremely important component of any conservation work. Only with the support of the public will conservation efforts succeed. Throughout my career I have been dedicated to sharing my work with as many groups of people as possible from all walks of life. I have had the opportunity to present to:
Students at various middle and high schools in the U.S. and Turkey

Multiple collage classes

The University of Utah Biology Department

Inmates at the Utah Correctional Facility (through the INSPIRE Program)

Teachers from around the state of Utah

Turkish government officials

Speaking about the goals of bird banding to a group of public school teachers. This presentation took place as part of a weekend retreat for teachers to learn about hands-on science at the University of Utah's Rio Mesa Research Center.

Instructing students of the Wildlife Biology class on proper bird handling technique at the Red Butte Canyon banding station.

Speaking about Pika conservation at a campground in Oregon as part of the Forest Service's education program
