Welcome to my web site! I am a behavioral ecologist and natural historian working primarily on Neotropical bird species. I am currently an associate research scholar in Dr. Christie Riehl's lab at Princeton University, where I work with lab members on various projects pertaining to the behavioral ecology of Neotropical birds. I am also a lecturer and have taught tropical biology field courses for EEB grad students and undergrads in the Dominican Republic and Panama, respectively. Check out my About Me section for a little more on my personal science story.
