Venturing forth in to the world of Wikipedia to see if this is something I am interested in pursuing with more vigour.

Am a wildlife biologist with a BSc, currently working on my Masters of Environment and Management. Thesis revolves around agriculture policy in Canada, my new area of interest. Should be completed by early 2007.

Have published 3 peer-reviewed papers (2 first author, 1 third author) on mustelids. One additional paper out for review. Also written articles for the general public (magazines and web pages) on a variety of topics ranging from waterfowl to shotgunning.
