Understanding the Human-Wildlife-Environment Nexus
Behavioral Ecology  •   Environmental Justice  •  Social-Ecological Dynamics •   Urban Ecology
As a scientist, I am particularly keen on advancing our understanding of the relationship between humans and wildlife. I'm especially interested in investigating how animals persist in an already dynamic world that humans are constantly altering and intertwining this work with justice. I primarily focus on urban ecosystems because they provide compelling model systems to address how human-driven disturbances impact organismal biology, lending itself to application, management, and conservation policy.

​Systems I've worked in to understand questions I'm interested in are:
Sea Urchins
Arbacia punctulata
Monk Parakeets
Myiopsitta monachus
Mesopredators
E.g., Coyotes (Canis latrans)
