Animal Personality
I am interested in the evolution of behavior and personality in mammalian species. Currently, I am researching if selective breeding for voluntary wheel running has led to development of a personality in the Garland Lab High Runner mice.
Stereotypies
Stereotypies
Utilizing the High Runner mice, I am also studying the connection of stereotypic behaviors (such as circling) to wheel running and the provision of environmental enrichment (pictured: toilet paper tubes).

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.

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.
