-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 work with Dr. Jamie Cornelius using ecophysiology tools to answer questions of how animals deal with complex climatic environments. 

-I worked with Dr. Vladimir Pravosudov 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.
