I am  a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Frank lab at Tulane University and an NSF GRFP fellow. I am broadly interested in the impacts of landscape degradation on bat communities and on physiological fitness and disease in bats, especially in the context of agriculture. My research is conducted at the FCAT reserve in northwestern Ecuador.

I graduated with a BA in Biology and Psychology from Vassar College in 2017. There, I worked in the Touchon lab, studying behavioral ecology and phenotypic plasticity in the Neotropical hourglass tree frog. I wrote my senior thesis on phenotypic plasticity in response to predation risk in Dendropsophus ebraccatus tadpoles. 

In my spare time I enjoy running, indoor cycling, and teaching my cats how to give high fives!
