Natalia is a research technician, as well as a 2025 graduate of the UNL Fisheries and Wildlife major with a minor in Japanese. She is currently working on two projects: interviewing landowners in the Rainwater Basin of Nebraska, trying to better understand their perspectives on conservation program implementation, and assisting with Wildlife Depredation mail surveys. Natalia is curious to explore how we can increase engagement in natural resource management, use, and conservation to historically non-participating groups. She ultimately aims to increase collaboration between the public and natural resource managers to work towards a more sustainable future.
