I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona, where I began my PhD studies in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in 2018. I work with Dr. John Wiens to answer broad questions in biology using phylogenetic methods. My primary research interest is sexual selection. I am particularly interested in studying visual sexually selected traits such as colors, horns, frills, and courtship behaviors. In my spare time I enjoy reading, drawing, and photography.
