Whether it&#8217;s in the nest or at the feeder, live streaming cameras provide a great way to connect people with nature through their intimate views of wild birds. In my role, I develop content that fosters deeper learning about the resiliency, behaviors, and natural history of the birds that are featured on cam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My love of birds and science has continued to grow as I&#8217;ve moved east from Nebraska to Ontario to New York. Thankfully, I&#8217;ve landed in a position at the Lab where I can use my skills to help the public develop a stronger interest, understanding, and respect for our natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>M.S., Biology, Western University<br>B.S., Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Favorite Movie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Princess Bride. &#8220;Anybody want a peanut?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2051,"parent":0,"template":"","program":[155],"project":[49],"class_list":["post-3739","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-advancement","project-bird-cams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/3739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=3739"},{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=3739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
