Conservation geneticist and urban wildlife enthusiast.
I am an NSF Postdoctoral and Michigan State University Presidential Fellow based at MSU’s Kellogg Biological Station. I use cutting edge genomic, transcriptomic, and physiological techniques to investigate species’ ability to adapt to environmental change. I have worked on a variety of organisms, from peat mosses to introduced toads, with the common themes of range expansion and adaptation in novel environments. I am dedicated to working with conservation practitioners to incorporate genetic data into management actions.
