*What path brought you to a career with Game and Fish?*

I always knew I wanted to move to the rocky mountain west growing up, and was fortunate enough to get a job with Game and Fish out of college.

*What is your favorite part of your job?*

My favorite part of the job is that my responsibilities are not the same every day.  Each day brings something new.

*Why is the work you do important?*

My work managing wildlife species is important for a lot of different reasons. Most importantly, my work managing wildlife populations helps to ensure that these populations are healthy for generations to come.

*What advice would you give someone who wants the same career as you?*

Do as much job shadowing, internships, etc. as you can early on in your education/career decision process. Through spending time with professionals, you’ll get the best understanding of what the job is and how the job will fit you.
