About me: I am currently an assistant professor of biology in the school of natural sciences at Northwest Missouri State University.  The courses I teach include: Basic Ecology, Environmental Issues, General Biology. I am also in the process of developing an Ichthyology course to teach next year.

 I graduated with my PhD in Ecology and Conservation Biology at Texas A&M University in August.

 I was born and raised in Bloomington, Illinois before being recruited to play lacrosse at Berry College in Rome, Georgia where I graduated Magna Cum Laude in May 2020. I completed a bachelor's in Biology with minors in One Health and Chemistry.

I hope to build a robust undergraduate research laboratory at Northwest, and collaborate with students, and professionals across the country. Please reach out to me if you are interested in collaborating.
