Michael W. MIller

Michael graduated from Colorado State University in 2019. As a child growing up in the Rocky Mountains, his mother take him fishing for Brook Trout. This sparked a deep affection for aquatic systems and a boundless curiosity to understand the mysterious world of fishes. Michael has an unrelenting passion for aquatic ecosystems and a deep respect for fisheries science. He is continuing his pursuit of becoming a native fisheries biologist by working toward a Masters degree to establish the efficacy of using an all male (YY) population of Brook Trout as a conservation tool to extirpate wild populations of Brook Trout.

She has also worked to conserve critically endangered fishes native to the Virgin and San Juan Rivers. In August 2019, she started work on her Master of Science degree studying rainbow trout natal origin, food web dynamics, and survival in Eagle Nest Lake.
