Piper Roby

Piper Roby started with Copperhead Environmental Consulting, Inc. in 2005 as a technician while pursuing her Master’s Degree at the University of Louisville and joined the full time staff the following year. Piper received her B.A. in Biology at Hanover College and both her undergraduate and master’s work were conducted on amphibian surveys with an emphasis on egg and larval stages. However, her work experience at various federal and state agencies includes trapping and tracking bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions; small mammal surveys; stream surveys; and constructing and monitoring pit-fall trap arrays used during reptile surveys. Duties at Copperhead include project management and endangered species surveys with emphasis on bats. She also has extensive radio-telemetry experience tracking snakes, meso-carnivores, and bats.

Piper also has extensive experience in several versions of ArcGIS and is the resident GIS technician at Copperhead. She is familiar with many aspects of the program including digitizing, manipulation, data analysis, and map creation.

In her spare time, Piper likes to read, hike, and travel.
