About Me

I am a community ecologist and postdoctoral research fellow with the National Science Foundation based at Boise State University within the Bittleston Lab. My research looks at that pathways through which phage affect nutrient cycling by altering their hosts' metabolisms and ecological interactions. I study these questions using the aquatic community that lives within the leaves of carnivorous pitcher plants. You can find out more about my research interests here. 
​​I received my Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale University in the Vasseur Lab, where my dissertation looked at competitive dynamics between populations with intraspecific variation. I earned my master's degree in biology at California State University, Northridge in the terHorst Lab and my bachelor's degree from Florida State University where I completed an honors thesis at the FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory with Dr. Dean Grubbs.
