About Me

I am an ecologist at Duke University working with Dr. Jean Gibert. I am interested in how phenotypic changes within ecological timescales shape species interactions and food web dynamics, as well as species evolutionary trajectories, particularly in the context of global warming. I combine experimental approaches, theoretical modeling, bioinformatics, and data science to understand how organisms traits affect and are affected by the food web they are embedded in.

I received my B.S. in Biology from the College of William & Mary, where I worked with Dr. Jelena Pantel studying how phenotypic variation within and between species affects competitive interactions.

In addition to science, I am also interested in hiking, paddle boarding, watercolor, and other forms of crafts.
