About me

I am a behavioural ecologist broadly interested in sexual selection, social behaviour, and the intersection between
these two seemingly disparate subfields. I use a variety of invertebrate animal models like bed bugs, fruit flies, acorn ants, freshwater snails, and leaf-footed bugs to answer broad questions about animal behaviour. 

​​

In 2024, I completed my PhD under the supervision of
Dr. Reuven Dukas at McMaster University. Currently, I am an
 NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow working in 
Dr. Christine Miller’s Evolutionary Ecology Lab at the
University of Florida.
