I am currently a PhD candidate in the Statistics Department at Penn State University. While my background is in Biology and Wildlife Science, I am very excited to be diving into a new field and the collaborative opportunities at Penn State. I am interested in exploring statistical applications to ecological problems and am undertaking several interdisciplinary projects under my advisor, Ephraim Hanks, in collaboration with the David Hughes Entomology lab and the Cont-LIMNO research group, respectively.
When I’m not busy in academia, I enjoy canoeing/kayaking, beginners rock climbing, hiking, exploring national parks, and reading way too much. In addition, I write about various STEM topics, together with Rachel Wigginton, on our Sweet Tea, Science blog.
