Herpetologist | Ph.D. Student

About

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biology at the University of New Mexico in Dr. Lisa Barrow's Amphibian & Reptile Biodiversity Lab, working with the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles at the Museum of Southwestern Biology. 

Currently, I am visiting the University of Zurich as a doctoral researcher in Dr. Oliver Hawlitschek's Phylogenetic Systematics of Animals Lab in the Department of Evolutionary Biology & Environmental Studies.

Broadly, my work (and my passion) is centered around collections-based biodiversity research on reptiles and amphibians that can directly impact conservation efforts.
