I just recently completed my PhD at the University of Tennessee where I focused on four iguana species that are endemic to Honduras and Guatemala. I used a variety of genetic techniques to address conservation issues surrounding these species. During this time I also started a lot of side projects that did not necessarily have  genetic component, but that were conservation based. Having a feeling that my work was not yet complete I wrote a bunch of grants to continue my research on Roatan, focusing on the island's endemic iguana. My goal is to merge basic information gathered through my research into an outreach and education program that will be long lasting. This species is found no where else in the world and is threatened in many ways. In addition this species plays an important role in the island's ecosystem so if it where to go extinct many species that depend on it would also find themselves in trouble. I will be working closely with the Bay Islands Foundation and a few other local organizations that I have made contact with. I am very eager to let everyone know about this project and bring as many people and organizations on board as possible. Please let me know what you think and if you are interested in being involved.
