Hello! I am a Klarman and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow working in the labs of Michael Sheehan and Kern Reeve at Cornell University.
I am obsessed with understanding how social interactions and relationships shape outcomes at the individual (think plasticity, physiology, health, survival) and society level (think social network structure) and eventually shape species evolution.
I combine outdoor, semi-natural field experiments using model laboratory species with molecular analyses and evolutionary and demographic modeling to gain an integrative understanding of how social behaviors shape internal outcomes and scale upwards to have broader impacts on social structures.
I'm also the director and co-host of The Animal Behavior Podcast, the most-listened to animal behavior research podcast. Listen here!
