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

I currently work with Dr. Vladimir Pravosudov in his long-term mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) system and have contributed 6 years to the project.

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