Biographical Sketch

Alex Stacy joined the Stream Ecology Center in the summer of 2024 as a Masters student advised by Dr. Colden Baxter. She graduated from Willamette University in 2019 with a degree in Earth and Environmental Sciences and a minor in Biology. In 2020 she received an M.S. in Environmental Biology from Regis University, where she interned with the Denver Botanic Gardens to research macroinvertebrate response to restoration activities in a small stream. Since then she has worked in commercial fisheries in Alaska, and most recently anadromous fisheries research for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Alex’s current research is focused on understanding fish and macroinvertebrate responses to fall ramp downs from Jackson Lake Dam in Wyoming, a crucial area of study for improving water management and ecosystem health. When she’s not doing fieldwork in Grand Teton National Park or at the scope processing macroinvertebrate samples, Alex enjoys any adventure outdoors including backpacking, camping, hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and snowboarding.
