Courtney Threadgill, M.S.

Biography

I grew up in East Texas, but have since moved around a bit.  I received my AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2007 and worked as a Registered Veterinary Technician in zoo medicine until going back to school at Stephen F. Austin State University for my Bachelor's degree. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2014 and received my Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BSF), with a focus on Forest Wildlife Management.  I have worked as a technician on many different projects including urban mesopredator population estimation using a mark-recapture technique, peatland fire fuel load sampling in England and the Netherlands, white tailed deer nutrition assessment, assessing seed bank expression from coastal moist soil samples, and sample collection and banding of ducks on the Texas coast. I enjoy the process of doing research, both in the field and in the lab, and eventually I hope to become a certified wildlife biologist for an agency or organization where I can continue to pursue my passion for wildlife research.
