Emily Clark, M.S.
Avian Ecologist
(she/her/hers)
Emily (Emm) joined the Sageland Collaborative team in early 2024. She got her start monitoring endangered Piping Plovers along the shorelines of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and was hooked. Since then, Emm’s career in field biology and community engagement took her across the U.S. and Latin America before landing in Tucson, Arizona.
Prior to joining our team, Emm spent seven years working with the Sonoran Joint Venture, a regional partnership leading collaborative bird and habitat conservation in the southwest U.S. and northwest Mexico. She earned a B.S. in Environmental Conservation from the University of New Hampshire and an M.S. in Animals and Public Policy from Tufts University. In her free time, she enjoys spending time in nature whether birding, meandering, or camping. She loves practicing yoga, traveling, and being a caretaker for two dogs, a turtle, and a desert tortoise.
In her role as an Avian Ecologist, Emm is looking forward to jumping in with the Intermountain West Shorebird Survey and helping to expand the efforts of the International Phalarope Working Group.
