Audrey joined the Eagle Fish Genetics Lab in the fall of 2021. She holds a B.S. in Biology from Oklahoma City University and an M.S. in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology from Colorado State University. During her time at CSU, Audrey used microsatellites and SNPS to understand spatial population structure of nonnative brook trout and investigate cutthroat trout gene flow and movement via an interbasin water transfer. Her graduate research provided scientific support for a large-scale effort to establish a metapopulation of Colorado’s state fish, the greenback cutthroat trout. Outside of the genetics realm, Audrey has an extensive background in fisheries and has previously worked with marine, anadromous, and resident freshwater fishes. In her spare time, Audrey enjoys hiking and backpacking, tending to her (too) many houseplants, and cuddling with her cat, Fio.
