Heather: I have worked for the DNR since 2000- I got hired in as a seasonal employee right after high school and never left! I spent four summers as a seasonal, and after I completed my bachelor’s degree in 2004 I was hired in as a Fisheries Assistant, or Creel Clerk in St. Joseph/ Benton Harbor. After one year there I was transferred to Frankfort/Onekama, where I stayed until I became the Traverse City Fisheries Biologist in 2009. I have a bachelor’s degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Management from Lake Superior State University, and a master’s degree in Biology with a concentration in Fisheries Management from the University of Nebraska Kearney. I live in Benzie County on the Platte River with my husband and two step kids, and on any given day I can be found chasing steelhead in the Betsie or the Platte or trolling out of Frankfort!
