Restoring Northern Bobwhite Populations in the Pineywoods Ecoregion of Texas
I grew up in a small town northwest of Fort Worth, Texas. I have earned a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M University (2017) and a M.S. in Range and Wildlife Management from Sul Ross State University (2020). Now, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Wildlife, Aquatic, and Wildlands Science and Management at Texas Tech University. My dissertation research is focused on restoring northern bobwhite populations to a private property located in the Pineywoods Ecoregion of eastern Texas. Specifically, following the property owner’s intensive habitat restoration efforts, we will translocate wild bobwhite from northern Florida to the site. At that point, I will begin collecting data on survival, reproduction, resource selection, and site occupancy to determine what variables affect those factors and better inform future restoration efforts.
