About me

Hi, I’m Lizzy—founder of Travel Twist Biologist LLC and an independent subcontract wildlife biologist supporting environmental consulting teams with protected-species monitoring, avian surveys, and compliance-focused field support across Texas, Nevada, and nationwide assignments.

With over 13 years of experience as a field biologist, I specialize in habitat assessments, golden-cheeked warbler presence/absence surveys, MBTA compliance surveys, and technical biological reporting for infrastructure, utility-scale energy, and land-management projects. My fieldwork spans ecosystems from the deserts of Nevada to the tropical rainforests of South America.

I provide defensible field data collection and subcontract wildlife survey support for projects requiring protected-species compliance and environmental permitting coordination.
