Welcome Samara to the Gonzalez Lab!

I completed my BSc in Biology and Mathematics at Queen’s University. Since graduating, I have had the opportunity to work with two NGO’s where I was able to look at conservation work from a different perspective. Through my internship with the World Wildlife Fund examining biological corridors in Quebec, I became interested in understanding how connectivity can be used to support conservation planning.

I am now starting my MSc in the Gonzalez lab, co-supervised by Dr. Laura Pollock. I will be examining connectivity in Quebec and working to understand how species traits combine to create movement eco-profiles that can be used to better support prioritizations of connectivity.
