-I am interested in effects of development on complex behavioral phenotypes, population demography, natural history strategy, animal cognition, nest building, and food-caching behavior. 

-Currently, I am working with Dr. Scott MacDougall-Shackleton at the Advanced Facility of Avian Research at the University of Western Ontario to study the consequences of sleep disruption on song learning across development. 

- In my first postdoc, I worked with Dr. Jamie Cornelius at Oregon State University using ecophysiology tools to answer questions of how animals cope with complex climatic environments. 

-I worked with Dr. Vladimir Pravosudov at the University of Nevada, Reno in his long-term mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) system and have contributed 7 years to the project during my PhD.

-I am an avid birder, photographer, and love spending time outdoors with wildlife.
