I am broadly interested in conservation genomics and evolutionary biology. I am working on a landscape genomics study to assess the genetic structure and diversity of Florida scrub-jay populations across the state. I also hope to better understand how region of the genome change or evolve through time in populations that are rapidly declining.
As a woman in science and a first-generation college student, I am passionate about increasing diversity within the sciences. I have worked closely with organizations, such as Be WISE, to help empower and inspire young girls to pursue careers in STEM fields. I want to continue being a part of these efforts to promote inclusion and diversity in academia throughout my career. When I’m not buried in research, I love going to the beach, painting, petting dogs and rolling around on my skateboard 🙂
