Jonathan is a native of Sacramento, California and a proud UCSB alumnus holding a B.S in Ecology and Evolution (c/o 2014). As an undergrad, Jon worked in the Scott Hodges evolutionary genetics lab studying factors driving adaption and potential speciation through pigment expression in the Colorado Blue Columbine, Aquilegia coerulea. Now back at UCSB with the Bren School, Jon hopes to expand his ecological skill set to larger spatial scales through the curriculum of the Conservation Planning specialization. In his free time, Jon enjoys cooking, biking, and fishing with his dad.
