I am an evolutionary biologist with a passion for investigating the patterns and processes underlying the diversity of life. ​

​​Combining field, lab, and computational research, I explore how physical and genetic characteristics differ between natural populations of vertebrate species across space and time, and examine the evolutionary processes shaping those differences. 

With a deep passion for research and teaching, I aim to pursue a career as a professor. I have had the privilege of earning my education and research experience from a wide variety of institutions. From community college, to an R1, to an RUI, to an Ivy League institution, I have learned that brilliant professors and students are conducting rigorous research at every level in academia. I am therefore open to pursuing employment at any academic institution where I can combine my interests in empowering students to be creative critical thinkers, and conducting cutting-edge scientific research in evolutionary genomics. ​
