About Me

My name is Olivia Nyffeler and I am currently a master's student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in the Conservation Sciences Program. My interests are in food webs, trophic cascades, and how invasive species change interactions between native species. I am originally from Madison, Wisconsin, and found my love of freshwater ecosystems being surrounded by the thousands of lakes in both WI and MN. Previously, I attended the University of Wisconsin Madison and worked closely with the Center for Limnology on a Centrarchid removal project.

When I am not conducting research, you can find me walking my dogs Louie and Atlas, exploring the outdoors, or curled up with a great book.
