About me

​I am an HHMI Hanna Gray postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Nicholas Bellono at Harvard University's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. My research utilizes molecular, genetic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to understand how organismal systems adaptively regulate, specialize, and evolve for their ecological niche. 
​
I completed my PhD in the lab of Dr. Joseph Sisneros at the University of Washington, and my master's at the University of Minnesota-Duluth in the lab of Dr. Allen Mensinger. My graduate research utilized behavioral and physiological approaches to interrogate the neural mechanisms of sound production and localization in vocal fishes.
