Bachelor's and Master's in Environmental Science from Duquesne University
Currently a doctoral student at The Ohio State University
My research at Duquesne focused on the conservation of freshwater fishes and mussels using environmental DNA and routine monitoring. While at Duquesne, I also served as Editor-in-Chief of The D.U. Quark, a student-run scientific journal.
My current research is focused on intermittent streams in the South Central United States. Specifically, I am interested in predicting patterns of stream drying, linking drying patterns to the community structure of fish and crayfish, and assessing ecosystem responses to drying.
