Mikaela was a former production intern for Platte Basin Timelapse. She graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December 2020, majoring in Fisheries and Wildlife, with a double option of Conservation Biology, and Wildlife Ecology and Management. She grew up in Omaha, Nebraska where any free time she had was spent digging in the dirt, catching insects, and climbing trees. She has a passion for the natural world and hopes to use the information and tools she has learned in school and the internship with PBT to continue exploring nature and contribute to conservation and showing the importance and beauty of wildlife.
