About Me

I am a PhD Student in Dr. Christopher Schell's Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. My doctoral research seeks to understand how heterogeneity within (and between) cities underpin wildlife behavior, health, and community dynamics. 

My research interests include behavioral ecology, movement ecology, urban ecology, conservation and management, environmental justice, human-wildlife conflict, ecophysiology, and social-eco-evolutionary dynamics.

Prior to entering my PhD, I completed my BS in Biology at Florida State University in May 2020 where I researched how humans indirectly impact marine communities. I went on to work as a Post-Bac researcher with Dr. Elizabeth Hobson where I worked on several projects including using vocalizations for species management. You can read more about my research here.

Parallel to conducting my research, I work to advance diversity in the STEM field. At my undergraduate institution, I worked with other undergraduates to establish a local SEEDS chapter at FSU. In my current institution, I am involved in the Graduate Diversity Council (GDC) where I assist in a variety of DEI initiatives. Additionally, I'm actively collaborating with community and institutional organizations to work towards building an equitable outdoor learning program.
