Research & Collections Technician for Vertebrate Zoology

 Marshall has been with the VMNH only a short time but has been involved with everything a technician could hope for doing while at a natural history museum. Marshall has always had a passion for biology so landing the dream job of working both on the research side but also the education/outreach side suits him perfectly. Marshall loves fieldwork and any opportunity to see animals in their natural habitat but also revels in the opportunity to work in collections where his love for taxonomy can take physical form.

GRADUATE STUDENT

I graduated from U. Nebraska - Kearney in Spring 2025. My thesis will focus on the Map Turtles of Kansas, specifically the cryptic and ambiguous False Map Turtle complex. I will be using morphology and genetics to improve our ability to identify these turtles.
