Aimee is a Wildlife Biologist currently working for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. She is presently coordinating a long-term, landscape scale study assessing the effectiveness of riparian buffers along non-fishbearing streams in Washington State. She received her BA in Biology from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon in 1998 and immediately began her career in ecology and wildlife biology participating in a study assessing the habitat associations of the Larch Mountain salamander. She has spent the past 9 years doing ecological research in Washington, including studies on amphibians, small mammals, vegetation communities, and invertebrates. A large portion of her work has focused on habitat associations of plethodontid salamanders in the Pacific Northwest, ecology of stream-associated amphibians in headwater streams, as well as patterns of recolonization on lands impacted by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Aimee completed her Master's degree at Oregon State University in 2003, where she studied the habitat associations and movement patterns of the Van Dyke's salamander in the Cascade's range of Washington. Aimee first became involved with SNVB during the 2002 annual meeting in Hood River, Oregon, where she presented preliminary findings from her Master's work. Since then, she has continued to be an active member, presenting papers and posters at several SNVB meetings. She became a trustee in 2005, and actively participated in the organization of the 2006 annual meeting.
