Makenna Tabino will graduate from Eastern Washington University with a B.S. in Biology (Wildlife Management Track). As a Running Start student, she spent her last two years of high school attending EWU as a full-time student. She is passionate about ecology and conservation, especially in regards to wetlands. Some of her interests include restoration ecology, wetland management, and community (multi-species) interactions.
She is currently working on a research project with her mentor, department chair Dr. Rebecca Brown, to investigate the long-term effectiveness of aquatic mowing on maintaining wetland vegetative diversity. This project is a collaboration with the nonprofit Ducks Unlimited, and it is being led by manager of conservation programs Chris Bonsignore.
