Academic Interests:
I coordinate introductory-level biology labs in the Biology department. My past research has focused on the behavioral ecology of black-capped chickadees, specifically investigating feeding, vocalizations, and social interactions. I am experienced in the use of R to analyze and visualize biological data and am currently expanding my programming skill-set to include Python.
