I am an evolutionary behavioral ecologist interested in how ecological conditions shape the diversity of reproductive traits that we see in nature. I hope to understand both broad patterns of trait evolution as well as the fine-scale behavioral and physiological processes that underlie them, especially mating and predator-prey dynamics.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Daniel Powell's lab at Louisiana State University- Baton Rouge. I received a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2026 under the supervision of Molly Cummings and a B.A. in Biology from Carleton College in 2019.
