My Story

I am a biologist because I am fascinated by the beauty and complexity of life on Earth. Teaching and conducting research with students has provided me with a great framework for channeling my love of natural history to train creative, innovative thinkers that address important questions relating to evolutionary adaptation and how populations may respond to ongoing shifts in climate and land use.
