Birding in Nevada

-I am interested in effects of development on complex behavioral phenotypes, population demography, natural history strategy, animal cognition, nest building, and food-caching behavior.

-Currently, I work with Dr. Jamie Cornelius using ecophysiology tools to answer questions of how animals cope with complex climatic environments.

-I am excited be joining Dr. Scott MacDougall-Shackleton at the Advanced Facility of Avian Research at University of Western Ontario to study the consequences of sleep disruption across development (~March 2026).

-I worked with Dr. Vladimir Pravosudov in his long-term mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) system and have contributed 7 years to the project during my PhD.

-I am an avid birder, photographer, and love spending time outdoors with wildlife.
