I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville working in Dr. Joe Bailey's Community and Ecosystem Genetics Lab. Before this, I got my master's degree at California State University, Northridge in Dr. Casey terHorst's Ecology and Evolution Lab.  Along with being a student of science, I am also a student of art.  I feel passionately about communicating science, especially through photography and other artistic means.
