Where Hunting Happens, Conservation Happens™
B.S. - Graduated 2014 - University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point
Tessa Hasbrouck completed her undergraduate fellowship at UWSP under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Anderson, where she studied bobcat home-range size and habitat characteristics in Wisconsin. Following completion of her B.S. degree, Tessa’s interest in wildlife and big game research brought her home to Alaska, where she received a Master’s degree at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her M.S. research, which was funded by the National Science Foundation, focused on quantifying effects of environmental factors and hunter overlap on moose harvest in Interior Alaska. This work uncovered complex interactions between weather and hunter harvest and provides managers and hunters with information that may be used to refine regulations and inform hunt locations and strategies. Tessa was hired as an Assistant Area Management Biologist in 2019 by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Wildlife Conservation. She is currently based in Ketchikan, Alaska.
