I am a PhD student in the Funk Lab at Colorado State University, Fort Collins. I am an evolutionary ecologist with an interest in using integrative research to examine evolutionary processes and conserve threatened organisms in tropical rainforests. My research utilizes fieldwork, lab work, and computer science/bioinformatics.

My primary research projects are:

• Impacts of climate change and habitat fragmentation on organisms
• Role of female mate choice in lineage divergence
• Phylogeography of an endangered endemic lizard
