What’s your favorite thing about working for the Service?
I love the fact that I get to work with landowners to restore fish and wildlife habitat, through the Partner’s for Fish and Wildlife Program. Most wildlife is found on private lands and by engaging private landowners we can work together to protect fish and wildlife and restore native habitat.

 

What’s your favorite species and why?

Sea turtles! They’re amazing, females will travel thousands of miles just to return to the beach where they were born. It is an incredible experience to watch them come up on the beach, meticulously creating a nest in which to place her eggs. Once they hatch about 6-8 weeks later, only 1 in a 1000 will reach adulthood.

If you could have one incredible animal adaptation, what would it be?

To breathe under water.
