Research
Animal Behavior
I am interested in the ecological implications and evolution of social behavior and personality in mammalian species. Currently, I am researching the development of stereotypic behaviors and the behavioral syndrome of the Garland Lab High Runner mice selectively bred for voluntary wheel running.
Graduate Student Mental Health
I am part of a graduate student team developing the "Graduate Student Well-Being Survey". This survey is designed to investigate the mental health and well-being of graduate students, addressing discrepancies in past studies.

Previous Projects
At the University of Arizona, I compiled research reports detailing the botanical characteristics, ethnobotany, and horticultural care of over 200 plant species for the Campus Arboretum and Plant Science Club webpages. Additional reports were generated for the Faul Preserve and selected species within the Biosphere 2 tropical collection.
At the same time, I utilized botanical photography and web design to build the Mark Dimmitt Desert Plant Conservatory webpage and online tour, honoring the exemplary botanist Dr. Mark Dimmitt.
