About me

My primary research involves exploring the evolutionary relationships of teleostean fishes, the evolution of reproductive strategies and morphology in teleosts, and phylogenetic applications for geometric morphometrics. As a Ph.D candidate in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas, I have been given the opportunity to broaden both my research and teaching experiences. I am currently an instructor for KU BIOL 251 Human Anatomy Observation Laboratory, and a graduate research assistant for the NSF Euteleost Tree of Life program.
