Peer-reviewed research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) demonstrating severe declines in native mammal populations associated with the spread of invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades.
Led field data collection, analysis, and manuscript development as part of a long-term ecological research program. This work has been widely cited and covered in major media outlets, contributing to national awareness of invasive species impacts.

As lead author of Invasive Pythons in the United States: Ecology of an Introduced Predator (University of Georgia Press), I worked with my colleague and synthesized emerging research on one of the most consequential wildlife invasions in North America. The book integrates field data, ecological theory, and management implications to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment of python impacts on native ecosystems. I led the development, structure, and narrative of the manuscript, translating complex and often fragmented research into a clear, authoritative, and cohesive volume. This work demonstrates my ability to shape technically complex, interdisciplinary material into publication-ready writing that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible to a broad audience, including researchers, managers, policymakers, and informed general readers.

As lead author on this Biological Conservation publication, I investigated long-term population declines in diamondback terrapins, drawing on over two decades of mark–recapture data. The study provided rare, quantitative evidence linking crab trap bycatch to shifts in population size, age structure, and sex ratios. I led the development of the manuscript, integrating complex longitudinal data into a clear, cohesive narrative suitable for a high-impact conservation journal. This work demonstrates my ability to structure and communicate technically complex findings while preserving scientific rigor and clarity for publication-ready results.

As lead author of Frogs & Toads of the Southeast (University of Georgia Press), I headed up the development of a comprehensive, accessible guide covering more than 40 frogs and toads in one of North America’s most biodiverse regions. The book synthesizes scientific research, species ecology, and conservation insights into clear, engaging content for a broad audience, supported by extensive photography and distribution mapping.
I led the organization, writing, and narrative structure of the book, translating complex biological concepts into material that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible to naturalists, students, and professionals alike. This work demonstrates my ability to bridge high-level science and public-facing communication—delivering clarity, accuracy, and strong narrative flow in long-form, publication-quality writing.

Feeling sluggish this Monday? Whenever I find myself putting off tasks need to get done, I return to the wisdom in Miles Courage's Productive Me (https://www.amazon.com/Productive-ME-productivity-eliminate-procrastination-ebook/dp/B0BBBLX32R/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8K6LQXZ6BFIX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dZEnkNnVJgtkvxW1vRJuyp6KtXEqwcmMuZ_w2lcGa07GjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.thC6QQQuR2mRRalP4Y9lIm9NdtRkBKDo-hsdjYwLqvQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=productive+me+miles+courage&qid=1772467994&sprefix=productive+me+miles+courage%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1). As anyone on this platform can attest to, the best part about working with others isn't sharing your expertise, it's getting to learn from theirs. So fortunate I got to be a part of this.

Executive & Operations Partner for Founders & Leaders
Conducted confidential research supporting a sensitive Chairman-level initiative for a leading global investment banking institution.
Early in my career, I was retained to conduct confidential research in support of a sensitive internal initiative originating at the Chairman’s level of a leading global investment banking institution.
The assignment required independent research, careful handling of sensitive information, and absolute discretion regarding both the work and the circumstances surrounding it.
I delivered the requested research into the executive initiative while maintaining complete confidentiality—a standard that has remained central throughout my work in high-trust environments.

Complex Program Operations | Defense Training
I supported operations for the Defense Strategic Debriefing Course (DSDC) in a high-trust DoD contracting environment, working directly with the course’s three senior leaders and supporting the day-to-day requirements of a specialized training program.
The role required coordinating student training operations, schedules, logistics, information, and the competing requirements necessary to keep the program moving reliably in an environment where discretion and operational accuracy mattered.

Pre-Launch Risk Mitigation: A major national brokerage firm was preparing an enterprise-wide product launch when I was asked to conduct a final review of the materials prior to release.
During that review, I identified a potential conflict-of-interest issue that had remained unresolved through the development and approval process. I raised the concern before launch, allowing it to be examined and addressed before the product reached market.
The intervention prevented a known compliance issue from becoming a post-launch regulatory, financial, and reputational problem.
The value of the work was not in adding another layer of process. It was in providing one final, independent examination of what everyone else had already seen—and noticing what had been missed.
